Today we had bought - Pomfret and Sear fish and prepared a nice fish fry after many days.
Here’s how it’s done:
Ingredients: (For 4 fish slices)
7-8 tbl spn fine Rava/Rice flour
1 heaped tea spn chilli powder
1 and 1/2 heaped tea spn turmeric powder
2 tbl spn lemon juice or tamarind pulp (optional)
Salt to marinate
oil for frying
Method:
Wash and clean fish. Drain the water. Marinate with 1/2 of the turmeric powder and the chilli powder. Add salt and lemon juice, apply well over the fish. ( Add more turmeric if required as this removes the stink of the fish)
![]()
Marinate for 30 mins minimum.
Take rava in a plate. Add remaining turmeric powder and chilli powder. Mix well. Add more of the powders if required. The rava mix should appear slightly golden in color (due to turmeric).
Heat a tava and add oil on it. Keep on low heat. Take a fish slice and roll in the rava mix, so that all the sides are covered well with the rava.
Place the fish slice on the tava. Follow the above steps for remaining pieces till there is place on the tava. There should be place to turn the slices while frying.

Serve with lemon slices, Salad, Goan Fish Curry and Rice.

Slurp slurp..I made fish fry yesterday with some unknown fish available here. I wish I could get fresh fish like in India.
My fish fry is also almost similar.. I just add few garlic cloves to the paste for a nice aroma.

Hi Shilpa,
ya i’d agree.. taste of fresh fish is really different. In bangalore also we don’t get fresh fish. But i’m going to goa day after tomorrow.. so will eat up as much as fish as possible
I had tried this fish fry with Tilapia when in US. That fish cooks really fast and the taste was good, so we ended up making rava fry almost every week

Hi
For frying the fish or prawns we should add oil and put the peices on high flame for 1 minute and the lower the flame and fry for 2 mts. The plus point of this is the masala and the rice powder does not scatter on the griddle.

Hi!
Kitem gho? Tuvem juzo blog ‘change’ keloi? Word Press? Now that my internet connectivity has improved i will try to post some of my recipes - of course you can pick and choose!
The new Goan cook book that i mentioned is Traditional Taste of Goa - Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian by Kumudini Usgaokar and Shama Sardesai. Its very good I tried a few things like the dry cabbbage baji with grated coconut. I read that its the English Version of their Konkani book Suwadik published in 2001.
Regards
Helga
