Method
Add all the ingredients (except the fish) in a small bowl

Whisk with a spoon till you make a smooth batter.

Pour this batter over the fish. Mix well and marinate for 30 min.

Heat oil and deep fry the marinated fish on medium high heat

Drain fish on paper towel.

At this stage, you can serve the fish as is…its delicious and melt in the mouth!

Or deep fry a second time for extra crispy texture! For this step, I opted to use my airfryer instead.

Serve the fried fish, hot….with a sprinkle of chatmasala

Along with grated mooli and hari chutney!
