Simple Malabar Fish Fry | Tasty and Quick

Whenever we have traditional rice meals at home, having some fried fish on the side is always a welcome addition. A regular Kerala every-day meal consists of Fish Curry or Veg Curry with lots of Vegetable side dishes, Pappadams, and the irresistible Fish Fry.  There are several ways that Kerala-style fish fry is made.

This is the easiest recipe, I use regularly for a fish fry. I will update the picture later, for now, we have an image taken quickly before lunchtime on my mobile. I usually make this with Kingfish / Seer Fish, but you can use it to marinate any type of fish. Since we are always in a hurry at lunchtime, I hardly ever get the time to take a good picture, and this post has been in my drafts for over a year now!

My other favorite Kerala fish fry is Fried Sardines (Mathi / Chaala), as shown here at the very end of this video for Sardine Curry and Fry
