Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then cut them into finger-sized strips, approximately 2 cm wide and 8 cm long.
In a small bowl, mix the curry powder, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the fish strips, ensuring they are well coated. Set aside for 5 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one containing the flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each spiced fish strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off, and then coat it generously with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F), or until a breadcrumb dropped into the oil sizzles and turns golden brown in 10 seconds.
Fry the fish fingers in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the curried fish fingers immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
