Ingredients

Fish…5 filets of cod (~4 inch long and ~1 cm thick). You can use any white flaky fish

Onion…1 small (chopped)
Garlic cloves…4-5
Ginger…2 inch piece (chopped)

Green chillies…4-5 (chopped)
Coriander leaves…1 cup
Mint leaves…1 cup

Lime…1/2 or 1 small
Powdered black pepper…1.5 tsp.
Bread crumbs…2 cups

All purpose flour…1 cup
Garam masala powder…1/2 tsp.
Eggs…2-3

Amchur (Dry mango powder)…1 tsp.
Chaat masala…1 tsp.
Salt…to taste

Instructions

This preparation is most commonly done with Bhetki fish but you can use any white flaky fish like catfish, tilapia, cod etc
I used 5 filets of cod (~4 cm long and ~1cm thick)
Start by pressing lime juice in the filets followed by sprinkling salt and pepper

Grind the following to a fine paste: Onions, ginger, garlic, green chillies, coriander leaves and mint leaves
Apply the paste on the filets, cover it and let it marinate in the refrigerator for atleast 30 min

Breading the fish

To 1 cup of all purpose flour add garam masala, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp. of powdered black pepper. Mix evenly

In another flat bowl, beat 2-3 eggs with 1/2 tsp. of salt and keep it aside
Coat the filets with the all purpose flour
Double dip the filets in the egg wash and bread crumbs (refer to my video to see how to achieve this in a mess-free manner :))

Refrigerate the filets for 10 min
Deep fry the filets in oil until golden brown and crisp
Finish by sprinkling chaat masala and Amchur powder
