#meetthemeat - Calling all fish lovers to try this easy and yummy pomfret fish fry that has been dipped in batter. There is a slight twist here. The main hidden ingredient in the batter is masoor dal (red lentils). It is accompanied with other basic ingredients to come up with this exceptionally yummy fish fry.
Request you to savour it, if possible, with a drizzle of some kasundi. If not, either green chutney or a dash of lime. You'll simply love it. You may substitute pomfret with any other fish of your choice. #goldenapron
