Crispy Fried Amritsari Fish

#starters
This is a first for sure…Crispy Fried Amritsari Fish on my blog. I am a vegetarian by choice but I do cook non-veg limited to chicken usually. Now that I am in Guadalajara, Mexico my son got some Basa Fish Fillets and asked me to make Amritsari Fish. For a moment I went blank as I couldn’t remember the recipe. It has been more than 20 years since I cooked it. My husband loved fish and would ask me to shallow fry or grill it for him. His favorite was a full pomfret marinated in Mint and Coriander dip. Amritsari was for starters for guests. I was a little finicky about handling fish and he would assure me that the fish would be clean. He would get it cleaned nicely and would say that it is just like paneer you can handle it!! Trust a sardar comparing fish to paneer! What is Amritsari fish? A recipe for fish fillets which emanated in Amritsar, a city in Punjab, North India. It is famous for it's Amritsari kulchas or Amritsari naan.The Amritsar fish is a fried crispy fish recipe found on the streets of the city of Amritsar. The variety of fish isn’t really important here as you just need a good deboned fish dressed into fillets. The recipe is very simple and very delicious. Crispy gram flour covers scaly white fish fillets that are spiced with Indian flavours of ginger, garlic, cumin powder and coriander powder. You can add chilli powder and garam masala if you like to eat spicy but my family is on the milder side and I skipped the chilli powder and garam masala.

Fried Fish Fried Fish
This tasty fried fish recipe is made with a basic combination of flour and seasonings, but don't be fooled by the simplicity of this dish—the fillets fry up crispy and delicious. Haddock and cod are two excellent choices for fried fish, but tilapia, pollock, or another mild white fish should work fine. Be careful not to overcook the thin fillets or burn the crispy coating.

I bought some wild caught haddock fillets and stored them in my freezer for quite a while. It was because I haven't figured it out how to cook such flavorless previous frozen fish until today I made garlic naans and all of a sudden I thought of an idea to cook this long forgotten fish in the back of my freezer-- fish curry. And of course it was a great hit for dinner. Eat Whole 2 Thrive -
