    • Have you tried the easy Fish Rava Fry recipe from Debjanir Rannaghar!
    • Here's the Pomfret Rava Fry Pin for your Pinterest Board!

    The recipe calls for basic ingredients and this is something we have had a lot when we traveled to the south. I specifically like the simplistic flavors of this fish fry. With a hint of tamarind, proper rava crust, and perfectly fried, this fish fry can be served as a starter or as a side dish along with plain rice and dal.

    It has been a long I have not written a recipe. It is not that I am not cooking. In fact, these days both I and Mehebub are cooking a lot. However, I did not feel like coming up with a written recipe. Today I decided to write one; the blog, after all, needs nurturing, and hence, the recipe for Mangalorean Pomfret Rava Fry. A family favorite that I don't cook. Mehebub cooks it way better than me and hence whenever we eat it, he cooks it. Needless to say, I am sharing his recipe today.

    Tricks of making perfect Mangalorean Pomfret Rava Fry

    Pasta loves the Rava fish fry Mehebub makes. She says the crunch is perfect. It seems Mehebub is patient with the shallow frying part which I am not. I prefer frying fish in loads of oil; deep-frying to be precise. However, this recipe calls for shallow frying. While I prefer it with my portion of Rice and Dal, both Mehebub and Pasta prefer to have it as a snack.

    Notes

    • Instead of normal chili powder, you can use Kashmiri red chili powder.
