A simple week-day dish that can be served up as dinner on a bed of rice, or as a great appetizer. Regardless of how you wish to serve these Fried Masala Fish Bites, they are a crowd favourite - even with the kids!
Serves 4 as a meal | 15 minutes plus marinade time
Ingredients
3 Basa fish fillets
2 tablespoon fish masala
1/2 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil for deep frying
1. Cut fish into bite sized piece and mix with the fish masala and salt, ensuring all sides of the fish bites are covered.
2. Cover the marinated fish with Glad-wrap and leave to refrigerate for approximately 20 minutes.
3. Heat up a frying pan with the vegetable oil on medium-high heat. Fry the marinated fish on both sides in batches. Once fried, place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the oil.
4. Once all the batches of fish are fried, serve on lettuce leaves as nibbles or on a bed of rice or salad to serve as a main.
Notes and Variations
While I have used Basa fillets in this recipe, any firm fish can be used.
Also, if you cannot get hold of fish masala (which can generally be found at your local gourmet / Oriental grocer), standard mild curry powder can be used. Keens Curry powder is an alternative that I use when I have run out of fish masala.
