Andhra Chepa Vepudu

This is a very common fish fry in Andhra Pradesh. I was a bit reluctant when I went through the recipe because of the presence of garam masala as an ingredient.. Garam masala and fish fry?? But trust me, it tastes too yummy for words and hence a must try recipe.

Ingredients

Oil or ghee as needed
250 grams fish pieces or fillet
Salt as needed
2 to 3 pinches of turmeric
1 tbsp. Lemon juice or as needed
¾ tsp ginger garlic paste
¼ to ¾ tsp red chili powder
¼ to ½ tsp garam masala powder

Instructions

Apply salt to fish and rinse it well. Drain thoroughly. Mix all the ingredients except oil. Apply to the fish. Keep this aside for 10 minutes. It absorbs flavors well.
Heat a small pan with oil or ghee. When the oil turns hot enough fry it for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip it to the other side. Fry again till it is fried properly. Add curry leaves and fry until crisp. Drain to a kitchen tissue.
