Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hilsha fish steaks
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 2 pieces Fresh green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour
- 4 tablespoons Cooking oil (e.g., mustard oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
Rinse the Hilsha fish steaks thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground cumin, salt, lemon juice, and garlic paste to form a thick marinade.
Rub the marinade onto both sides of the fish steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Prepare a coating mix by combining rice flour and finely chopped green chilies in a shallow plate.
Lightly dredge each marinated fish steak in the rice flour mixture, ensuring a thin, even coating.
Heat the cooking oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated fish steaks into the pan.
Fry the fish steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried fish from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Dairy-Free Spicy Hilsha Fish Fry hot with steamed rice, salad, or as a standalone dish.
