Silver pomfret fry

We got home a bagful of cute silver pomfrets yesterday which were on sale from a local market. There are plans to cook these in 3-4 different ways; will keep you posted about all of those recipes. Today, it is time for fried silver pomfret in our most simplest ways. Here is the recipe details for fried silver pomfret.

Bringing the ingredients together and getting the fishes marinated on it.




Silver pomfret fry recipe
Serves - 4
Preparation time - 10 minutes; marination time - 45 minutes

Ingredients:
Silver pomfrets - 1/2 kg, cleaned and drained well, make small slant cuts over the skin (you may want to use any other fish of your choice that is available)
Turmeric powder - 1/8 teaspoon
Red chilli powder - 3 teaspoons
Black pepper powder - 1 teaspoon
Ginger - 1/2 inch piece, finely chopped and crushed to a smooth paste
Vinegar - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Oil - for shallow or deep frying in batches

Method: Mix together well all the ingredients except oil along with a few teaspoons of water to a thick and fine paste. Apply the marinade as a very thin layer on both sides of the fishes and marinate it for 45 minutes. Shallow or deep fry the fishes in batches on both sides until golden brown and drain the oil. Enjoy!

Courtney - thanks for dropping by. It tastes so delicious when fried. It belongs to the family of marine percoid fishes.

Is it possible to bake this in the oven, VKN? (for a healthier option for my husband!) :)

Lera - thank you pal. The final picture is not so perfect as the wooden slice got into the fish's skin when I tried to turn over it without holding properly from both sides.

I love pomfret. Any idea how much mercury it contains? Whether It can be safely consumed during pregnancy?

Hi,

The finished product looks great. Can you tell me how long you shallow fried the fish each side? Also, did you need to cover it or cook it uncovered? Thanks a lot,

Suresh
