Ingredients:
500 Grams Bangada / Mackerel Fish
1 Tbsp Deggi Mirchi Powder for Flavor and Color
1 to 2 Tbsp Regular Chilly / Mirchi Powder For Spicy Taste
1 Tbsp Sambar Masala Powder (Any Brand I used Maiyas)
1 Tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt as per taste
5 to 6 Tbsp Vinegar
Ground Nut Oil or Sunflower Oil for Frying
(Lime Wedges, Pepper Powder and Sambar Powder for Garnish)
Combine both the chilly powders, turmeric, sambar powder, salt and vinegar...form a smooth paste.
Wash the fish till all the blood and gut area is drained and cleaned.
Allow the fish to rest in a colander for excess water to drain.
Pat the fish dry with a paper towel, add to a mixing bowl.
Apply generous amount of marination all over the fish, inside the slit gut area and head also.
Cover the fish and allow to marinate for 30 minutes...for best results allow to marinate over night refrigerated.
Start Frying:
Heat a iron tawa with 4 tbsp groundnut oil and allow to smoke on low flame.
Once the tawa has heated and the oils starts to smoke, gently place the marinated fish on a time and fry 3 in a batch.
Every 2 minutes flip the fish and fry. Once the edges and the marination is crispy check if the fish is fork tender inside and remove from flame...Serve the fish right away.
It took us 10 minutes to cook a batch a fish on very low flame, we did not want the marination to burn.
Serve the fish as hot as possible...sprinkle some black pepper powder, sambar powder and chilly powder, and serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
