Desi Finger Fish Fry- Yadgar Fish style
Seafood is cooked differently in the Sub-Continent, it is marinated and cooked with lots of herbs and spices. There are many variations for cooking fish, it can be deep fried, pan fried or even cooked in a curry. For this recipe I have used boneless fish which is marinated with quite a few spices. This is deep fried and then served with a spicy Chutney.This Desi Fish Fry is inspired from Karachi's very famous Fish Fry -Yadgar Fish. Their Fish is quite popular not only amongst Karachiites but also people from other cities travelling to Karachi make sure to have this delicious speciality.This dish is very simple and easy to cook, it just needs some time for marination. The spicy Chutney adds a kick to the flavour of the fish. This can be served as an appetizer or a snack,
