Hey Fish Lovers! Welcome back!

Let’s cook a special dish of “Climbing Perch Fish”

Here I have 3 Large Farm raised climbing perch fishes.

These weight about 2 lbs together.

Made some deep incisions on both sides,

It will help the marinating process

as well as proper infusion of spices into the fish.

For Marinating, add ½ tbsp Turmeric Powder,

½ tsp Salt and 1 tbsp Lemon Juice.

Massage these well on the sides of the fishes.

When done, let it rest for 15 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the masala sauce.

Add ½ tsp turmeric powder,

½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Chili powder,

1 tsp Cumin Powder, ½ tsp Ginger Paste,

½ tsp Garlic Paste, 3 tsps Onion pastes.

Now add ¼ cup water and mix to make paste.

 

On a Nonstick frypan, add ¼ cup mustard oil,

fry the climbing fishes on high medium heat.

Flip & fry both sides, until it turns light brown.

Carefully remove the fishes from the pan.

Use 2 spatulas to avoid breaking the fishes.

On the same pan over medium heat,

add ½ tsp cumin seeds & ½ tsp black cumin seeds.

Sauté for a minute and add the spice paste.

Sauté for 2-3 minutes till the oil separates.

Add the fried fish and gently cover them with spices.

Add ¼ cup of water to it and mix with the sauce.

Cover and cook on low medium heat for 5 minutes.

Flip the fishes & cook the other sides for 5 minutes.

The Climbing Perch Fish masala fry is ready to be served.
