Mint Flavored Delicious Fish Fry

Fish fry is a very popular dish all over India, especially in Kerala, a beautiful state famous for its backwater and lots of coconut trees and not to forget Kerala is one of the a great place for honeymoon.
I still remember a trip to a dam(forgot the name) from my school in Tamilnadu where you get to see people fry and sell the freshly caught fish everywhere neat the dam and you get nice fish fry smell(feel sorry for who hates fish), the one which you can’t avoid but I didn’t get a chance to eat one that time, later when we went to Okanakal dam with my family, I got a chance to eat it and it tasted good.
This fish fry is different to the usual one, I used mint and cilantro and it added more fragrance to the fish and it tastes really good. Looking at the picture don’t conclude I burned my fish, its just the bright green color looks like burned, sorry about that.

Crunchy Fish Fingers

Simple and very easy to prepare this chruncy, tasty fish fingers. My one year old girl grabbed one from the plate as soon it was ready and started munching and she soon took another one before the plate was empty and even my picky boy loved it. This crunchy fish finger is a big hit with my kids. I use tilapia fillets fearing cooking other fish like salmon would leaves a strong fishy odor lingering in the house even after couple of days which makes my boy really grossed, so I choose tilapia which is comparatively less odor but you can use any fish fillets of your choice.   

Ingredients
Tilapia fillets - 2 Cut into 1 and 1/2 to 2  inch long strips 
Bread Crumbs - 1/2 cup 
All Purpose Flour - 1/4 cup
Ginger Garlic Paste - 3/4 tsp
Chili Powder - 1/4 tsp
Coriander Powder - 1/2 tsp
Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Baking Powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste 
Oil to fry

Method 
In a medium bowl, combine flour, ginger garlic paste, chili powder, coriander powder, pepper powder, baking powder, salt with some water to a nice thick batter. Take the fish and dip in flour batter and dredge in the breadcrumbs and set aside for 5 mins and deep fry in the oil and serve with ketchup. Enjoy!!
