Kolkata Fish Fry has its root in history. Crisp, crumb coated Bhetki Fish fillets taste addictive on every bite, serve hot with Kasundi.
Marinate the fish fillets with salt and lemon juice for 20 minutes. Now make the second marinade.
In a food processor add coriander leaves, chilli sauce, green chillies, and garlic cloves, blitz until smooth. Add this mixture to the fish fillets and marinate further for 1 hour.
Arrange Breadcrumbs in a plate.
For egg wash break the eggs in a bowl, whisk well, and keep aside.
Now dip a marinated fish fillet first in whisked egg, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat the steps again. That means each fish fillet need to be coated twice with egg wash and breadcrumbs. Do the coating of the fish fillets for one at a time. While coating with breadcrumbs use your fingers to give a neat shape to every fish fillet.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan, start frying the coated fish fillets over medium heat. Fry them until nicely browned from all the sides. Remove from the pan, serve Fish Fry immediately with some onion rings and mustard sauce/kasundi on the side.
