Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 100 grams Chickpea flour (also known as gram flour or besan)
- 180 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the fish fillets. Pat them dry with a paper towel and cut them into small cubes, about 1 inch in size.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, turmeric powder, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well-mixed to form a batter.
Step 3
Add the cubed fish to the batter and gently fold to coat each piece of fish with the batter. Ensure the fish is completely covered.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the battered fish cubes into the pan.
Step 5
Cook the coated fish cubes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and fully cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Remove the cooked fish tofu from the pan and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the cooked fish tofu for garnish.
Step 8
Serve the Soy-Free Fish Tofu hot with a dipping sauce of your choice or alongside a fresh salad.
