KERALA FISH FRY

This is an easy to prepare kerala style fish fry. This goes well with rice and chapatti. Kerala fish fry is quite spicy, like most Kerala non-vegetarian dishes. For an average malayalee, a lunch is not complete without a fish fry or curry. It plays a major role in Kerala cuisine. Fish is a protein food with fewer calories than other meal dishes and it fits perfectly into a healthy diet. Marinate the fish with the spice powders without water. This recipe needs only an hour for marination.  Try this recipe and don’t forget to post the comments below in the comment box. I should admit, even though I am not a big fan of fish, I love fried fish.
