These fish pakoras are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. An absolutely delicious fried fish starter with succulent pieces of flaky fish coated in a lightly spiced batter.
INGREDIENTS
- 500 g Fish Cod
- 100 g Gram Flour (Besan)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Chilli Powder
- ½ tsp Turmeric Powder Haldi
- 1 tsp Crushed Chillies
- 2 tsp Coriander Seeds crushed
- 1 tsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Ginger Paste
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 100 ml Water
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the fish into bite-sized chunks
Step 1
Add all the ingredients, except the fish, into a large bowl and whisk until a smooth batter with no lumps forms.
Step 2
Add the fish chunks into the batter and coat the fish pieces with the batter evenly.
Step 3
Heat a pan with oil for deep frying until medium-hot ensuring that the oil is not too hot – to test this you can add a small ball of the batter into the pan, and it should rise with tiny bubbles surrounding it.
Step 4
Gently add the fish into the pan – there should be tiny bubbles surrounding them – and allow them to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown before flipping and allowing to cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the other side
Serve with homemade yoghurt chutney and enjoy!
