NOTE / TIPS :-

Instead of garam masala pwdr you can use coriander pwdr. I use garam masala as it removes the fishy smell or you can use any ready made fish fry masalas.
Along with the rava you can mix cornflour or rice flour .
Use a non stick pan to fry.
Adjust masala as per your taste.
Don’t overcook – fish cooks fast .
Rubbing lemon juice on fish helps in maintaining its colour and adds flavour.
Before frying you can either coat it with semolina , breadcrumbs or rice-flour its gives a crispy crust and inside it would be tender.
Always go for fresh fish instead of cold stored fish.
Do not over crowd the pan while frying the fish as it cools down the oil and causes the fish to absorb oil.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish.
When the fish is fried its skin should be brown and crisp.
Before marinating the fish its important to pat dry the fish else the masalas will not stick to the fish well.
You can also fry without coating .
Instead of adding water to the marination paste , use only lemon juice.
Do not keep turning the fish while frying,the fish may tend to break.
Flame should be medium while frying.
More the marination time , gives a definitive taste.
