Notes

  • Place the marinated fish in fridge over night for best results.
  • Since fish happens to be a more tender protein, make sure to keep an eye on when frying these fillets up. The golden brown crust can burn quickly.

  • This marinated fish can be baked as well
  • Serve it with boiled rice or roti/chapatti/naan.
  • It can be served with variety of dips/green chutney fresh salads.
