SPICY MASALA FISH

This is a perfect South Indian fish fry. The colour might scare you a bit. You got it right.Yes, it is very spicy. A perfect blend of spices to the fish makes it truly delightful. Traditionally the fish is deep fried, but I have pan fried the fish. The Kerala fish fry is usually fried in coconut oil with great aroma. Best to be eaten with sliced onions. If you want to avoid the spicy part use paprika for very good colouring and flavour.
