This is on of the recepi i learnt from my late paternal grandma. This humble fish fry is my childhood memories well spent in my paternal grandparents house during my school holiday. I remember asking her tons of question as a curious child everytime she's busy cooking. One of those are why adding ghee to the masala and she replied this is what she has been taught my her late mother in law. The point is here is to add rich and unique flavor to the fish fry.
As for me, the ghee brings all the masala together and adds a beautiful aroma to the fish. I call it Andhra fish fry as my paternal grandla hailed from Andhra Pradesh and this is how his mom fry fish for the family. I love how the masala coated well the fish which rendered a tantalizing flavor. Serve hot with white rice and fish gravy.
