How to Make Spicy Fried Fish

• Wash the fish well and add salt and lime to it - rub well and leave aside for 10-15 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a non stick frying pan. Wash the fish well and dry a little with a paper towel.
• Mix the powders in a large bowl and toss the fish in - evenly coat the fish with the spices.
• Fry the slices to a light brown crisp, about 5 minutes on each side (open, not covered).
• Place on paper towels to drain out the excess oil.
