Fish Fry (Ammachy fish fry)

I got this fish fry recipe from mathrubumi newspaper. They call it Ammachy fish fry. They also say this is the nadan fish fry of travancore style. It is a very delicious recipe, and a must try atleast once. The below recipe is for 3 kingfish steaks. You can do it with karimeen (pearl spot) or white pomphret.


You need
  1. Kingfish (neymeen/ayacura) - 3 steaks
  2. Chilli powder - 1 tsp
  3. turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  4. Shallots - 5 nos.
  5. Ginger - 1 small piece (when chopped 2 tsp)
  6. Ginger - 1 big clove
  7. Green chilli - 2 
  8. Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
  9. Salt to taste
  10. Oil for shallow frying (Use any vegetable oil, but they say coconut oil is best for this)


Method
  • Make a paste of chilli powder, turmeric and salt.
  • Marinate the fish with the above paste and keep aside for 20-40 minutes. 
  • Grind together ingredients 4-9 (remember you added salt while marinating, so add accordingly here) into a almost fine masala. It will be coarse as you're not using water.
  • Take the marinated steaks and cover each steak well with this coconut masala.
  • Shallow fry on a hot tawa on low flame.






Finally you'll lick the plate not to leave behind the last bit of coconut masala!!!
