Wishing you all a joyous and prosperous New Year! After a refreshing holiday break, I’m excited to share my first recipe of 2019. In this luscious dish, I’ve opted for sardine fish, though you’re free to choose any fish variety you prefer.
Ingredients:
- 9 cleaned Sardines
- ½ teaspoon Chilli Powder
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper Powder
- ½ inch piece of Ginger
- 4 cloves of Garlic
- 3 Curry Leaves
- 3 Small Onions
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice Flour
Preparation:
Begin by washing the sardines thoroughly with salt and turmeric powder, setting aside separate quantities for this purpose.
Make 3 to 4 cuts on both sides of each fish.
Create a mixture by combining salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder, and lime juice. Apply this mixture to the sardines and cover them with a lid.
In a blender, grind ginger, onion, garlic, curry leaves, and pepper powder into a smooth paste. Use very little water or none at all during this process.
Apply the paste onto the fish and allow it to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes, enabling the flavors to infuse the fish.
Roll each fish in rice flour to coat evenly.
Heat oil in a pan. If the sardines are naturally fatty, additional oil may not be necessary.
If desired, add curry leaves to the pan for enhanced flavor.
Fry the fish on one side until crispy, then flip and fry the other side until equally crispy.
Serve the crispy fish fry with rice or a complementary dish of your choosing.
This crispy sardine fish fry is a delightful way to begin the year, infusing the succulent sardines with a harmonious blend of spices and flavors. Enjoy it with rice or any of your preferred accompaniments for a truly satisfying meal.
