Amritsari Fish Fry
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes Step 1: Cut boneless firm white fish fillets into 2-inch chunks. Toss with lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, crushed carom seeds (ajwain), and salt. Marinate for 15 minutes. Step 2: In a bowl, prepare the crispy batter by whisking gram flour (besan), rice flour, crushed carom seeds, ground cumin, red chili flakes, beaten egg, and chilled water into a smooth, thick coating consistency. Step 3: Heat mustard oil in a deep kadai to 180°C (350°F). Dip marinated fish chunks into the spiced batter and gently drop into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes until light golden and crisp, then drain on a wire rack. Step 4: For signature street-style shatteringly crisp texture, flash-fry the fish pieces a second time at 190°C (375°F) for 90 seconds. Drain, dust generously with tangy chaat masala, and serve piping hot with mint coriander chutney, sliced red onion rings, and lemon wedges.
