Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hilsha fish fillets
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the Hilsha fish fillets thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, red chili powder, garlic paste, ginger paste, sea salt, and fresh lime juice to form a thick marinade.
Step 3
Rub the marinade evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring each piece is coated well. Let the fillets marinate for at least 10 minutes to soak in the flavors.
Step 4
In a shallow plate, spread out the coconut flour. Lightly dredge each marinated fillet in the coconut flour, coating them evenly on both sides. This will give the fish a crisp texture when fried.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the coated fillets into the skillet.
Step 6
Fry the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful while flipping to ensure the delicate flesh doesn't break.
Step 7
Remove the fish from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot. Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.
