How to Use
Classic South Indian Fish Fry
-
Clean & Score: Clean your fish thoroughly. For whole fish, make 2–3 diagonal cuts on each side to allow the marinade to penetrate deeply.
-
Make the Marinade: Mix 2–3 tablespoons of Sakthi Fish Fry Masala 200G with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and a little water or oil to form a thick, smooth paste.
-
Marinate: Coat the fish generously on all sides with the paste. Marinate for at least 20–30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavour.
-
Fry: Heat 3–4 tablespoons of oil in a flat pan or tawa over medium-high heat. Place the marinated fish carefully and fry for 3–5 minutes per side until the crust is golden and crispy and the fish is cooked through.
-
Serve: Serve immediately with sliced onions, lemon wedges, and green chutney. Pairs beautifully with steamed rice and rasam.
Other Uses
-
Prawn Fry: Toss cleaned prawns in the masala paste and shallow-fry or grill for a quick, bold seafood starter.
-
Baked Fish: Use as a marinade for oven-baked fish fillets — bake at 200°C for 15–20 minutes for a healthier, lower-oil alternative.
-
Fish Curry Base: Dissolve 1 tablespoon in coconut milk with tamarind water for a quick South Indian fish curry gravy.
-
Grilled Seafood: Apply to squid or crab before grilling for a smoky, spiced coastal flavour.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the pack tightly sealed after opening to preserve freshness and aroma.
