Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Marinate the Fish
In a bowl, combine fish fillets, lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
Prepare the Batter
In a separate bowl, mix besan, rice flour, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter that can coat the fish.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

Coat and Fry
Dip each marinated fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is well coated. Carefully place the coated fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the fish pakoras from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
