Hello, and welcome. Today I am sharing a Surmai fish fry recipe. Surmai is our family's favourite fish. I love the combination of steamed rice + dal tadka fry (home version of fodaniche varan) and fish fry with a slice of lemon and onion. Yum!
Fish is a special food for the Malvani and Konkani people. Konkan is one of the parts of Maharashtra state, and it is a coastal area. People living in this area have an abundance of fish. Actually, fresh fish from the sea tastes heavenly. Konkani people are blessed to have fish for everyday meals. In fact, my father had it almost daily.
Before that, we should know the health benefits of eating fish
1. Fish have various nutrients like high-quality protein, iodine, and various vitamins and minerals.2. Fish boost Omega 3, which helps in optimal body and brain function.
3. May lower risk of heart attack and stroke.
4. May prevent depression.
5. A good dietary source of Vitamin D.
We have fish twice a week. I am sharing a Malvani recipe for fish fry. For this, I have taken surami fish. This fish fry has three steps.
- Cleaning
- marination
- frying.
You have to clean the fish properly. Remove all dirt and blood from the fish under the tap water. Marination is the main trick to having tasty fish fry at home. Marinate fish at least for 30 minutes. And the last step is frying, for which a cast iron tawa is good. Remember, we have to shallow fry the fish and not deep fry. so without further ado let's jump into the recipe.
SURAMI FISH FRY ( MALVANI VERSION)
Ingredients:
Surami fish : 10 pieces
Turmeric : 1 TSP
Garlic : 15 no
Coriander seeds : 1 TSP
kokam (amsul petals) : 4 to 5 numbers
Malvani Masala powder or red chilli powder : 1 tsp
Coriander leaves: fistful
Rice flour : 1/2 cup
Chickpea flour : 1/2 cup
Oil : 4 to 5 tbsp
Salt as per taste.
DIRECTION :
Step 1 : Cleaning
- Wash and clean fish pieces with lots of water.
- Transfer the fish to the colander to drain the water.
- In another bowl, take this fish and add turmeric and kokum petals. Mix and rub with your hands so it can be coated into all fish.
Step 2 : Marination
- Grind garlic, coriander seeds, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander leaves and salt.
- Coat this marination on the above fish. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Fry
- In another plate take rice flour and gram flour on a plate. Add a little salt to it. Mix it very well.
- Take one marinated fish and coat it very well in this flour mixture.
- In this way keep all fish ready to fry.
- Add 4 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan.
- Once the oil is heated, lower the flame and put the fish pieces in oil one by one.
- Fry fish from both sides for 5 minutes or until you see the crispy layer on the fish on medium flame.
- Check out by pricking the fork and transfer to the paper towel.
- Your crispy and delicious malvani surmai fish fry is ready to serve.
Tips :
- Rubbing Kokam petals on fish pieces helps remove the fish's fishy smell.
- Rice flour or semolina or gram flour is the main ingredient which gives a crispy flavour.
- If you are a beginner use a non-stick pan or else a cast iron pan is a must.
