Til Fish Fry is a magnifique and crispy dish where fresh fish fillets are coated in a thick, toasted sesame seed batter. I use white sesame seeds ground with garlic, green chilies, and a magnificent blend of regional spices to create a golden, aromatic crust. This dish is a symbol of coastal comfort, often prepared for special family gatherings in the heartlands. The taste is remarkably bold—nutty, savory, and carrying a magnificent sharp fragrance from the toasted seeds. It is an honest and high-quality representation of heritage cooking that uses simple seeds to create powerful flavor profiles. I recommend serving it warm as a premium appetizer with tangy chutney.
