We love fish at home and Surmai (King fish) is one of our favorites. Every time we get it we make a curry and we fry some. We got two big pieces of surmai and decided to just fry them and eat with plain dal and rice. So I decided to marinate the two pieces in different marinades/masalas.
The first picture is of surmai masala fry here I used a simple marinade and added some sambar powder for a different flavor:
mix 1 tsp kashmiri red chilli pwder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 pinch asafoetida/hing, 1 tsp sambar powder, 1-2 tsp ginger -garlic paste and salt mix with a little water to make a thick paste and apply on the fish and leave for atleast 30 mins to an hour or more.
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the fish 5-7 minutes on each side.
The second picture is of surmai rava fry. Here I used: 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 pinch hing, ginger-garlic paste & salt made a thick paste with some water and applied to the fish and kept it aside for an hour.
Now while frying I took some rava/semolina (2 tblspn) and rice flour (1 tblspn) in a plate and mixed it well. Heat a pan add oil add 1/s tsp ajwain/caraway/carrom seeds when they sizzle roll the fish in the rava mix, make sure its coated well on both sides and fry in the pan 5-7 minutes on each side.
Enjoy with dal & rice or just by itself with chilled beer.
