Cooking Time: 10 minutes Serves: 3

Ingredients:

Seer Fish / Vanjaram Meen - 3, big, sliced, fresh
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Oil - for frying

First Marination: 2 Hours Minimum
To be ground to a fine paste:
Ginger - 4 "1" inch pieces
Garlic - 8
Lemon Juice- 1 tbsp
Peppercorns - 1tsp
Dry Red Chilli - 2
Fennel Seeds - 1 tbsp
Rock Salt - as required for taste
Coconut - 2 tbsp, grated,fresh

Second Marination: 3 Hours Minimum

Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin Powder - 1/4 tsp

Method of Preparation:

1. Clean the fish slices with turmeric powder. Prepare the first marination with lemon juice to a fine paste.

2. Marinate the slices with the masala paste for 3 hours minimum and leave overnight for more taste. Prepare the masala powder for second marination. Marinate for minimum 3 hours. Shallow fry the fishes on a hot iron tawa with oil for 3 minutes on both sides in medium heat.

Notes:

• The first marination must be thick paste and not runny. so add water only if required, else the lemon juice itself is sufficient to make a fine paste. 
• Marination time is important for the fish flavor. 
• You can use any fish for this recipe.
• Food colour red can be used for colour. I have not used. 

Serving Suggestion:

Best when served with hot steaming rice, sambar and rasam.
