Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Hilsha fish
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Mustard oil
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
Instructions
Clean the Hilsha fish and cut it into medium-sized pieces if necessary.
In a bowl, mix together turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, garlic paste, ginger paste, and lemon juice to form a marination paste.
Gently coat the Hilsha fish pieces with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the mustard oil. Spread the oil evenly by tilting the pan.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated Hilsha fish pieces into the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has a golden crust.
Transfer the fried Hilsha to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot as a side dish with steamed rice or enjoy on its own.
