Notes
- Buy the fresh and Good quality Seer fish for the best results.
- I have used shallots for this recipe, it has the mild and delicate flavour, you may also substuite with red onion.
- I always prefer using cold-pressed peanut oil /gingelly oil for any of the Fish recipes I make because it has lot of health benefits and taste is certainly enhanced. However you can also substuite with vegetable oil or coconut oil.
- When you blend the spices make sure to add little water at times to get the right texture of the masala.
- Marination is the key to get the utmost flavour of the fish. You may also marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
