Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hilsha fish (cut into steaks)
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 Fresh green chilies (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the Hilsha fish pieces thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, red chili powder, garlic paste, ginger paste, salt, and lemon juice to make a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the fish pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. In another bowl, place the coconut flour for dredging.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add coconut oil.
Dip each marinated fish piece into the egg wash, then coat it lightly with coconut flour.
Carefully place the fish pieces into the hot frying pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the delicate fish.
Remove the fried fish from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and optional green chilies. Serve immediately with a side of keto-friendly vegetables or a salad.
