This is how my MIL makes it..and it’s quite yummy ..it’s similar to yours..she uses ‘Raho’ fish..dunno the english name for it..
First squeeze/mash a couple of garlic cloves and rub it on the fish alongwith 1-2 Tbsp of gram flour (besan) ..then just wash it..
For marination: Couple of garlic cloves, salt, pepper(black and red both), coarsely ground corriander and cumin , Ajwain, 1 tbsp besan, oil 1-2 tbsps, lemon juice
mix the above and marinate fish with it..let sit for atleast 30 mins..then fry or grill as you like..I’ve tried both and I like the grilled version better
I have to try this one. Does it come out like it has a besan coating or no? I tried Shan Lahori Fish masala and was surprised it had some besan coating, didnt like it too much.
