Image: Nothing like a simple mackerel fish fry

Text by: Tanya Munshi

This is my all time favourite fish accompaniment - low on oil and very easy to make. This fish fry is a hit on winter nights, when you enjoy a simple meal of steamed rice or roti with daal at dinner time.

Ingredients:

• Mackerel - whole pieces, cleaned and slits made on them
• Salt - to taste
• Lemon/ Vinegar - 1 lemon juice/ 1 cap full
• Chili Powder - 1tsp or to taste
• Turmeric Powder - 1 tsp or to taste
• Ginger - Garlic Paste - 1-2 tsp
• Garam Masala - 1/2tsp

Method:

1. Rub all the ingredients on the fish and leave aside to marinate. Remember, longer the better.

2. Just before dinner, heat oil in a non-stick pan or a tava and add the fish one by one.

3. Fry till golden brown and garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with roti and daal.
