Recipe: Fish Fry Recipe Indian- Surmai Fry- How To Prepare Fish Fry-Malvani Fish Fry-Kalimirchbysmita (Episode 245)
Makes: 2-3
Preparation Time:1 hour 15 mins
Cooking Time:7-8 mins (per batch)

http://bit.ly/2C0kO2l

Ingredients:
1) 500 grams Surmai/Seer Fish Slices
2) Cooking Oil
3) 1/2 Cup Rice Flour
4) 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
5) Salt
6) 4-5 rinds of Kokum (substitue: small marble sized tamarind ball)
7) 1 tbsp Kashmiri red Chili Powder
8) 1 tsp Whole Coriander Seeds
9) 1/2 Cup Fresh Coriander Leaves
10) 1/2 inch Ginger root
11) 10-12 Cloves of Garlic

Steps:
1) In a large flat plate (Parat), put turmeric powder, Salt and mix well. Coat fish slices in this first marination. Allow 15 mins of marination
2) We will grind a masala paste for second marination. In a grinder jar, put ginger, garlic,Whole Coriander seeds (if seeds are not available, you can use coriander powder), Kokum rinds, Red Chili Powder and Coriander Leaves,Salt to taste.
3) Grind into a fine and thick paste. (use as little water as possible). We have used 3 tbsp Water.
4) After 15 mins of 1st marination, gently apply this masala on fish slices (both sides). 
5) Refrigerate slices for an hour (Don't keep in deep feeezer).
6) After an hour, remove fish slices from refrigerator. Masala coat is well set due to refrigeration.
7) Let's make a dry batter. Put Rice flour. Masala paste has salt content , so I am skipping adding salt to rice flour (you may add some salt if you like)
8) Place fish slice in this dry batter and coat from both sides.Dust off excess coating and keep aside
9) Heat 2-3 tbsp Oil in a pan.Reduce the heat and put a fish slice in the pan. Cook on each side for 3-4 mins. (Do not overcook). Over cooking makes fish less tender, flavorful and moist
10) After 4 mins , flip over to cook from other side. 
11) Cook underside for 3-4 mins. Remove fried fish from the pan


Tip of the day: How to properly fry the fish
Tip 1: Ensure fish slices are pat dried after you clean it.  Use Kitchen napkin
Tip 2: Ensure the temperature of fish is brought to room temperature before frying (If you are using frozen fish)
Tip 3: Oil must be sufficiently hot before frying. To check if the pan is hot, put a mustard seed and it must immediately splutter.If it takes few seconds to splutter, then the oil is not hot enough.
Tip 4: Never follow the frying time given in the recipe literally. Check after the given time. If fish leaves the bottom of the pan, then you are good to flip the fish else wait for 30 seconds before trying again
