Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hilsha fish steaks
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by cleaning the Hilsha fish steaks and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, ginger-garlic paste, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Step 3
Rub this marinade over the fish steaks, making sure each piece is well coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, beat an egg. In a separate plate, spread the coconut flour for coating.
Step 5
Dip each marinated fish steak into the beaten egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it evenly with coconut flour. Set aside on a dry plate.
Step 6
Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish steaks into the pan.
Step 7
Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is crispy and golden brown. Be mindful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to fry in batches.
Step 8
Once done, transfer the fried fish onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb Hilsha fry!
