Fresh fish marinated in 'Kokam juice' called 'Agal' and special spice or 'Masala' from the 'Malvan' region in 'Konkan' in Maharashtra . This fish turns out to have a nice combination of all tastes and flavours viz. spicy, salty , tangy and extremely tasty. I have used my favourite Pomfrets here but you can use any fish of your choice and follow the same method. It will be equally delectable,
Oil for shallow frying .
FOR MARINATION:
2 Medium sized Pomfrets sliced into pcs (Approx 14 to 15 pcs)
Kokam Agal (Thin Kokam syrup)
Malvani Masala 2 Tbsp
Salt to taste
FOR COVERING:
Rice flour ½ bowl
Rawa or Semolina ½ bowl
Little salt
½ tsp chilli powder
METHOD:
1. Mix the Kokam agal (Watery syrup of Kokam) and Malvani Masala/spice to form a paste . Add salt to taste .
2. The paste should be fine but thick, so it sticks and coats the fish pieces properly.
3. Clean, wash and keep the fish pieces aside.
4. Marinate the fish pcs. In this masala/spice paste. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 mins.
5. Mix all the ingredients for 'covering' or coating the fish pieces in a plate. Keep aside.
6. Heat one thick bottomed pan/ Non-stick pan/ Iron girdle. These will taste best if prepared on an Iron girdle (BIDAACHA TAWA) found in most Maharashtrian homes.
7. Take the fish pieces and roll them in the rice flour mix so that they are coated on all sides .
8. Add a little Oil around 1 to 2 tsp. on the pan and shallow fry the fish on the pan. Once they are nice and golden brown from one side, flip them over and fry till golden brown on
other side.
9. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot. Enjoy!
10. These really do not need any accompaniment but can be had with sliced onions or Squeeze of a slice of lemon if it suits your taste.
