Kerala Fish Fry

Kerala fish fry is quite spicy, like most Kerala non-vegetarian dishes. For an average malayalee, a lunch is not complete without a fish fry or curry. It plays a major role in Kerala cuisine. Fish is a protein food with fewer calories than other meat dishes and it fits perfectly into a healthy diet. Try this recipe and post your comments.

According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Dear Shaan,
In the ingredients you have mentioned about mustard seeds. However, please let me know when and where this mustard seeds to be used. I am leaning through your recipes. I am very raw hand in cooking. Thanks a lot for your recipes.

    You are welcome Unni. Happy to know that you are learning cooking though my recipes. In fish fry we are grinding mustard seeds along with the other ingredients. (I am sorry, I forgot to mention it in the step 2 and now it is included). Regarding the use of mustard seeds, most of the Kerala side dishes uses mustard seeds. They add a distinct taste to dish. The dishes which we won’t use mustard seeds are avial, olan and thorans with grated coconut etc. Thank you very much for the feedback and also hope to see you here often.

I love your site. Thank you. I want to make this as shown in the photo using a whole fish. I would score the fish and marinate as you suggest. How would you cook it? Would you fry on one side and finish it in the oven? Or?

    Vicki, Thanks for the feedback. No need of oven for this preparation. Just shallow fry the marinated fish by turning both sides.
