Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut boneless fish fillets into bite-sized cubes or strips.
-
Marinate the fish pieces with ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder/flakes, black pepper, salt, and soy sauce or lemon juice for 15-20 minutes.
-
Take each piece of fish, coat it lightly in all-purpose flour, dip it into the beaten egg wash, and then roll it generously in breadcrumbs for an extra crunchy exterior.
-
Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
Carefully drop the coated fish pieces into the hot oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels or a wire rack.
-
Serve hot immediately with your favorite chutney or ketchup!
Note
Coating the fish cubes with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs instead of traditional chickpea flour (besan) gives this unique fish pakora an ultra-crunchy, modern bite.
You can prepare and freeze these coated fish bites for up to a week in advance for quick iftar preparation during Ramadan.
