Batter fried fish

FISH BATTER FRIED

Battered  fried fish is a popular food in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada ,Germany ,Russia ,New York ,U.S and South Africa .Mostly they use beer or soda to mix the batter to make the batter light and  full of bubbles .The beer adds colour and taste. It also makes the batter light . Here instead of beer / soda , I have used eno pwdr . This dish is bland in taste ,so it  has to be served with some tasty dips / sauces / chutney .Cheesy sauce is a great combo for it . See that the fish is fresh without any smell ,as we are not going to add any Indian spice or masalas to marinate it .
