Clean the pomfret thoroughly and make small slits on both sides of the fish.
Mix red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, salt, garam masala, Kokum Syrup, and ginger-garlic paste to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade generously over the pomfret, ensuring it gets into the slits. Let it marinate for at least 2-3 hours.
Mix semolina, red chilly powder, turmeric, and salt in a plate to prepare the crispy coating.
Coat the marinated pomfret evenly with the semolina mixture.
Heat a pan with a little oil and fry the coated pomfret on medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides.
Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Ensure the fish is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Marinate the fish for longer if you want deeper flavors.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent the coating from sticking.
Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
Can I use another type of fish for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other firm fish like kingfish or mackerel, but pomfret is ideal for its delicate flavor.
What is kokum syrup, and can I substitute it?
Kokum syrup is a tangy extract used in coastal Indian cooking. You can substitute it with tamarind paste if needed.
Can I bake the fish instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake the fish at 375°F (190°C) until crispy, but frying gives the best texture.
How do I prevent the coating from falling off while frying?
Ensure the fish is dry before marinating and press the coating firmly onto the fish before frying.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can use gluten-free semolina or rice flour for the coating.
