Directions

  1. Combine the grnd turmeric, chilli pwdr, ginger, lemon juice, grnd coriander, grnd cumin, salt and asafoteida together in a small bowl.
  2. Dry the fish on absorbent kitchen paper and smear both sides of each piece with the blended spice mix. Set aside for 15 min to enable the flavours to penetrate.
  3. Coating for Indian Fried Fish:Meanwhile combine all the dry ingredients for the coating, and pour the oil for frying into a shallow frying pan - sufficient to cover the base of the pan.
  4. Heat the oil. Take each fish fillet, dip it into the beaten egg and then coat with the spiced flour. When the oil is warm, shallow fry each piece of fish for 3 min on one side. Turn over and fry for another 2 min. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper before serving warm. Serve with Gujarati Dal and lime pickle.
  5. Gujarati Dal:Wash yellow lentils in several changes of water. Put in a pan with four times their quantity of water. Add in the grnd turmeric and boil for 30 min till the lentils are mushy. Add in the jaggery or possibly brown sugar and a little salt to taste.
  6. In another pan, heat the oil and add in the cloves, cardamom pods, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, bay leaves and asafoetida. Reduce the heat. When the seeds begin to crackle pour the mix over the cooked lentils and stir well.
  7. Stir in the lemon juice and sprinkle with minced fresh coriander to garnish. Serve with Indian Fried Fish and lime pickle.
