Saltto taste
Green Chili2
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Fresh Cilantro1/2 cup, chopped
Lemon1
Fish500 g, steaks
Red Chili Powder1-2 tsp
Mustard Oil4 tbsp, for shallow frying

Instructions

1
Prep the fish: dry, scored and salted; moisture is the enemy of crust.
2
Coat with the fresh cilantro and spices and let it sit — 30 minutes minimum.
3
Dredge the fish in the coarse coating, pressing hard so it clings to every edge.
4
Shallow-fry in hot oil, 4-5 minutes a side, till deep gold and crisp at the edges; drain on a rack.
5
Plate with the fresh cilantro remnants fried crisp alongside, lemon and sliced onion.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
