Fish Fry (Chepala Vepudu)

This is my Fiance's favourite. He loves it and this is my mom and mom-in-law's special.

So, let's go for it........

Ingredients:

1. Fish - 4 pieces (I prefer Tilapia fish at Walmart)

2. Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 1/2 tablespoon

3. Garam Masala (Fish Masala) - 1 tablespoon

4. Turmeric - 1/4 teaspoon

5. Chilli Powder - 1 table spoon

6. Salt - As per your taste

7. Oil - 2 tablespoons

8. Lemon Juice - 1 teaspoon

9. Coriander leaves - for garnish

Preparation:

Mix all the ingredients except for fish, lemon juice and coriander and then marinate fish with this masala mix and keep it aside for 30 minutes.

Now heat a pan, add oil and once oil is hot, add the fishes and fry them. This will take around 15 minutes and you have keep turning the pieces very carefully (dont break the pieces, they are very tender) once every 5 minutes.

And then crispyness of the fish depends on your taste. The more you fry, the more crispier pieces will become. Be carefully not to burn them though...

After the fry is done, place them on the paper napkin, so that it will soak all the excess oil.

Later sprinkle with lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves.

That's it. Enjoy the meaty snack. ;-)
