About Pomfret Fry
Pomfret Fry is a delicious fish fry recipe where the Pomfret fish is marinated with a spicy paste made with a set of simple spices. This dish can be made in multiple ways, with each region having its own style of making the spicy paste. In this post, I am sharing a North Indian-style Pomfret Fry Recipe. I bought small fish because they taste the best and have a good amount of flesh. You can also buy medium or large fish if you wish to. If using larger fish, increase the cooking time slightly. For The Spicy Masala Paste – To marinate the pomfret, you will make a spicy and tangy masala paste using fresh ginger, garlic, salt, chickpea flour (besan, gram flour), coriander powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, black pepper powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and lime juice. To Serve – Serve the pomfret fry with freshly squeezed lime juice and chaat masala powder. Do not forget to serve some onion rings on the side. Make cuts all over the fish (on both sides) using a sharp knife. Making cuts ensures that masala penetrates inside the fish, so it’s highly recommended.
2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste 1 teaspoon salt 1 tbsp chickpea flour 2 tsp coriander powder ½ tsp turmeric powder 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder ½ tsp cumin powder ½ tsp garam masala powder ½ tsp black pepper powder 1 tbsp lime juice
Heat 4 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the fish in the pan and fry undisturbed from the sides for 5 minutes each until nicely browned. Note – The fish should not touch each other while frying. Otherwise, they will steam and get soggy instead of getting crispy. Drizzle with lime juice and chaat masala powder and serve hot as an appetizer or a side dish.
