Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 🌶️
- 2 teaspoons cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar 🍶
- 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
- King fish slices (number depends on size)
- Oil for shallow frying
- Lemon wedges for serving 🍋
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spice Paste:
- In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, vinegar, and salt. Mix well until you have a smooth paste-like consistency.
-
-
Marinate the Fish:
- Coat each fish slice generously with the prepared spice paste, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the fish to marinate in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
-
Heat Oil:
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke slightly. This indicates that the oil is hot enough for frying.
-
Shallow Fry the Fish:
- Carefully place the marinated fish slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fish slices on one side until they turn golden brown and crisp, then carefully flip them over using tongs and fry the other side until equally golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once the fish slices are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Serve the King Fish Fry hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for a tangy kick.
