How to make Chettinad Fish Fry
Step 1: Prep the fish
Clean and pat your fish steaks dry. You want them ready to soak up all that masala.
Step 2: Coat with Chettinad masala
Add CURRYiT Chettinad Chicken Curry Paste to the fish and coat each piece properly. Every bit should have a good layer of masala.
Step 3: Heat the pan
Brush a little ghee or oil onto a pan and let it get hot.
Step 4: Fry the fish
Place the marinated fish carefully on the pan and let it cook undisturbed.
That sizzle? Exactly what you want to hear.
Step 5: Flip and crisp
Once the underside is golden and crisp, flip the fish and cook the other side.
No constant poking. No flipping it five times. Let the pan do its job.
Step 6: Serve
Once both sides have that beautiful golden crust, take it off the heat and serve hot.
Crispy on the outside, spicy and flavourful inside. This is the kind of fish fry that can turn a regular Sunday lunch into the main event.
And yes, cancelling your plans for this was the right decision.
Save this fish fry recipe for the next time you are craving something spicy, crispy and seriously flavourful.
