Ingredients
- 6 pieces Hilsha fish steaks
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Mustard oil
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 sliced Green chili
Directions
Step 1
Clean the Hilsha fish steaks thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Step 3
Rub the marinade generously over the fish steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4
Heat mustard oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
While the oil is heating, dredge each marinated fish steak lightly in coconut flour. This will give a nice crispy texture to the fry while keeping it keto-friendly.
Step 6
Carefully place the fish steaks in the hot oil. Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and has a golden, crispy crust.
Step 7
Remove the fish steaks from the pan and drain any excess oil using a paper towel.
Step 8
Garnish the fried fish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and sliced green chili before serving hot.
