Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Rice flour is the secret ingredient that ensures the coating stays crispy for longer.
  • Ajwain (carom seeds) is essential as it aids digestion and provides the signature aroma.
  • Do not crowd the pan while frying; this drops the oil temperature and makes fish greasy.
  • Patting the fish dry before marinating is crucial for the batter to stick properly.
