Ingredients
- 500 grams Hilsha fish
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Mustard oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Clean the Hilsha fish and cut into medium-sized pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, red chili powder, garlic paste, ginger paste, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a paste.
Step 3
Rub the spice paste over the fish pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4
Heat mustard oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the fish pieces in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip the fish to avoid breaking.
Step 6
Transfer the fried fish onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Low Sodium Hilsha Fry hot with a side of steamed rice or fresh salad.
