Chef Ajay Chopra

1. Marinate the Fish

   Cut the Bhetki fish into finger-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, ajwain, ginger-garlic paste, egg, suji, mustard oil, rice flour, besan, chopped coriander, baking soda and MSG. Mix well and coat the fish evenly with the marinade. Allow it to rest for 15–20 minutes.

2. Fry the Fish

   Heat oil in a pan. Carefully place the marinated fish pieces into the hot oil one by one. Fry until golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove and drain excess oil.

3. Serve

   Arrange the fried fish on a plate and sprinkle with chaat masala. Serve hot as a starter or snack.
