Sheela Fish Fry / Sheela Meen Varuval

My DH loves fish fry. This crispy fish fry with Sheela Fish is one of the simple recipe which never fails to impress him. I have Sheela Fish / Barracuda Fish for this Recipe. There are many variations which I do in fish fry. This is the simplest of all. I prefer frying over Tawa rather then deep fry. Non-stick Tawa helps you to use less oil for frying. Though this fry is made over non-stick tawa and consumes less oil, this is so crispy and tasty. Wait for more posts on fish fry. This Sheela Fish is one of my favourite fish other than Nethili Fish and Vanjaram Fish Fry. Now off to Sheela Fish Fry recipe. Follow this recipe and let me know your comments.

Ingredients

• Fish cut into pieces – 6
• 2 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
• 1 tbsp Chili powder
• 2 tsp Coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp Curry leaves finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Gram flour/ Kadalai maavu
• Salt as required
• Half a lemon
• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Take a bowl and add everything mentioned above except fish and oil.  Add enough water to make a paste.
   

2. Apply paste on the both the sides of the fish pieces. Let it marinate for at least 20 mins. Marinated fish can be either deep fried or roasted over a tawa. I prefer roasting over tawa.

3. Heat a tawa and spread a tbsp of oil all over it.

   When the tawa is hot, place the pieces and drizzle some oil over it.

    Cook for 1 min on one side and then flip it. 

   Cook it for another 1 min and reduce the flame to medium. 

   Roast it for a min on both sides and transfer to a serving plate.
   

Recipe Notes

• The tawa should be hot, when you place the fish over it. Only then the masala will stick to the fish.

 

Notes:

• The tawa should be hot, when you place the fish over it. Only then the masala will stick to the fish.
• Adjust Spice level according to your taste preferences.
• You can use the same masala with any other fish.
