Red Snapper Fish Fry / Sankara Meen Varuval / South Indian Style Fish Fry - Shallow Frying Method

This is a very simple but delicious fish fry recipe that goes well with any type of meal. 


Ingredients:

Red Snapper / Sankara meen - 6 to 8 pieces
Turmeric powder -1 tsp
Red chilli powder - 2 to 3 tsp(adjust according to your taste bud)
Thick tamarind extract - 2 tsp 

Oil - 1 tsp
Salt - as required
Oil - for shallow frying 


Directions:


Wash and clean the fish pieces; make incisions and pat dry. 



Take a bowl; add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, tamarind extract, salt and a tsp of oil.

Mix everything to make a thick paste consistency. (Add water if required)

Apply this masala on both sides of the fish; allow to marinate for more than a hour.

Heat oil in a flat bottom pan, add some curry leaves and place the fish.

Turn the fish in between to cook both sides evenly.(Do this in a medium flame)

Serve hot as a starter or accompaniment to rice with  fish curry.



Note:

Instead of tamarind extract you can also use lemon juice or vinegar.

This recipe is suitable for any small fish variety.

Adding curry leaves is optional but i preferred to add because it gives a nice flavour to the fish.
