Pomfret Fry is a classic and highly esteemed seafood preparation from the coastal regions of India. This recipe features a whole silver pomfret marinated in a zesty mixture of red chilies, turmeric, and tangy lemon juice with a hint of garlic. The fish is then coated in a thin layer of semolina (rava) and shallow-fried to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust. Its taste is delicate and savory, with the natural sweetness of the pomfret shining through the spicy exterior. This dish is a mandatory centerpiece for a celebratory coastal meal, best enjoyed with sliced onions and fresh mint chutney.
