Fish Fingers
Fresh fish cooked the Kerala way — with coconut, curry leaves, and a tartness that comes from kudampuli or tamarind. Coastal Kerala cooking at its simplest and best.
Ingredientsfor 6 servings
- 1/2 kg Fish fillets — cut into long finger shaped pieces
- 1 tbsp Chilli powder
- 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
- 1 tbsp Soya Sauce
- 1 tsp Pepper powder
- Salt, to taste
- 1 nos Egg
- 1/2 cup Maida — optional
- Salt, to taste
- 1 Bowl Bread crumbs
- Oil
Preparation
Step 1
Marinate fish fingers with chilly powder, ginger-garlic paste, soya sauce, pepper powder and salt and keep it for half an hour.
Step 2
Beat egg by adding little salt.
Step 3
Dust the marinated fish fingers with maida and dip it in beaten egg.
Step 4
Now coat it evenly with bread crumbs (after putting the fish finger in bread crumbs, roll it in your palm).
Step 5
Fry in hot oil these fish fingers in a medium flame until they are golden brown and cooked.
Step 6
Serve while still hot with tomato sauce.
Tip
Never stir a fish curry with a spoon. Shake the pot gently to coat the pieces — stirring breaks them apart.
