Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 4 pieces Fish fillets
• 2 items Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 cups Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour and cornstarch to the spice mixture and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the water until lightly frothy to create the egg wash.

Step 4

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.

Step 5

Dip each fish fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 6

Dredge the egg-coated fish fillet in the flour and spice mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Shake off any excess.

Step 7

Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 3-5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the cooked fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite sides, like a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
