Ingredients
- 500 g boneless white fish cut in bite-sized cubes
Marinade
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ginger minced
- ½ teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Batter
- ⅓ cup gram flour
- 2 tablespoon rice flour
- 2 green chilies sliced
- 3-4 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped
- water as required
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed chilies
- ½ teaspoon carom seeds
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin seeds crushed
- 1 ½ teaspoon coriander seeds crushed
Garnish
- chaat masala
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Mix the fish with salt, ginger, garlic and lemon juice. Keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Whisk together gram flour, rice flour, green chilies, fresh coriander and all the seasonings. Use a little water to make a thick paste. The fish will already have some moisture, so don’t thin out the batter too much.
- Add this batter to the fish and mix well. Adjust water at this point. The batter should have a medium consistency and not be runny.
- Heat a pot of oil to 175-180 °C (350-360 °F). On medium heat, fry the fish till cooked through. Fish takes only a couple of minutes so be mindful of that. Increase the heat and fry on high for a minute to crisp up.. When golden brown and crunchy, remove on a wire rack..
- Sprinkle chaat masala and serve with lemon wedges and tamarind chutney. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any boneless white fish. Some great options are cod, haddock and pollock, tilapia and halibut.
- You can substitute cornflour (cornstarch) with rice flour.
- Don’t let the fish sit too long with the marinade. It will start breaking apart.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before you add your fish pakoras, otherwise the batter will separate from the fish
- Remove on a metal rack instead of a paper towel to keep the fish pakora crispy. Otherwise they will get soggy in their own moisture.
