Sindhi Masala Fish
A Spicy Temptation: Sindhi Masala Fish – Flavorful Delight from the Land of Sindh!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large white fish fillets, plaice, haddock or cobbler are good
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 2 tsp fennel seeds
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tbsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Crush the coriander seeds, fennel seeds and garlic cloves in a pestle and mortar then empty into a bowl.
- Mix in the flour, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala and salt.
- Place the fish fillets into the masala mix and coated them then set to one side.
- In a large deep frying pan, add enough vegetable oil so it's about 5cm deep to fry the fish.
- Gently heat the oil and test whether it’s ready by dropping a small bit of the masala mixture into the oil, if it fizzes and turns brown in a few seconds the oil is ready.
- Very gently slip in a couple of fish fillets and cook for around 4–5 minutes, gently turning them over until cooked through and they have turned a wonderful yellow colour.
- Drain on some kitchen paper.
