Masala Ma Tareli Machchi (Parsee Fish Fried in Masala)


About 14 oz white fish fillet, cut into 8 pieces about 4 in long
¼ tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground red chili
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 ½ tsp Ginger/Garlic Paste
Oil for shallow frying
Salt

Rub the fish fillets with the turmeric and some salt and set aside for half an hour. Mix together all the remaining ingredients except the oil to make a paste, then taste and check the seasoning. 

Deliciousness.
Deliciousness stacked.
Deliciousness mixed!
Rub the paste onto the fish, then taste again, sprinkling on some lemon juice or salt if necessary. 

It's kind of an unsettling feeling... like petting one of those hairless cats. 

Massaged cod.

Place in the refrigerator if you are not cooking it immediately.

Heat a little oil in a large frying pan, add the fish and cook until well colored underneath before turning it over. 

AND we have instant awesome smell.
Do not let the oil get too hot or the coating will burn very rapidly. When ready, the fish should be crisp outside and delicately soft inside. 

Done! And served with Yogurt Curry.

My rating: 5/5 "Absolutely adored the spice rub - hot and savory."
