Fish is one of my favorite food almost in every form be it fried, baked or curry. My love for fish only increases every time I prepare it. It definitely takes more time to cook however it's worth it; considering it's health benefits compared to other non veg dishes. Today I am sharing a very simple fish fry dish. Unlike India where fresh water fish is easily available had to make do with the fish fillets in the US......however the results are not bad at all. There is a slight twist in the recipe as we would generally use just turmeric powder, salt and red chili powder to smear it however have modified the recipe slightly as it tastes even better with the ingredients mentioned below.
Let's get started with this simple dish with readily available simple ingredients in the kitchen.
