my cooking - Karimeen fry (Pearl spot fish)

Karimeen fry ''''really simple and easy to do................try  ....

Ingredients
1.Karimeen cleaned, scaled and remove the skin (skin tastes really sour ) 4nos.
2.Shallots (cherulli small onions) 6nos. remove the skin
3.Garlic 4-5nos.
4.Ginger 1 small lemon sized
5.Curry leaves 5-6nos.
6.Turmeric powder 1/2tsp.
7.Red chilli powder 2&1/2tsp.(keep in mind you can add spice more if interested in really spicy)
8.Pepper powder 1tsp.
9.Coriander powder 1tsp.
10.Juice of 1 lemon
11.Salt to taste
12.Oil (for shallow fry)

                         Make slits on the fish so that the masala you make really enters into the fish.... to make the masala..... take a small grinder add the ingredients from 2-10 and grind it to make a fine paste if needed add little water (be careful the paste should not be watery)....now when the paste is done add salt to taste (taste of salt should stand out in the paste so that the fish can suck necessary salt ) apply them on the fish nicely with your hands and keep them aside for 1 hour (at least for half an hour) ....heat oil in a pan (the oil should be hot or else the fish gets caught on the pan) and fry them till nice golden brown.......... serve them as your side dish for you rice....... try  this and do comment
