Pan Fried Tilapia


We love fish. Shoj as he is from Kerala (southern coastal area), I can say he lives on fish and same with Anush too. He loves to eat fish all the time and anytime. :-) I too love fish and the best is when it's fired with all Indian masalas which make it spicy. I love my mom's masala which is simple and yet very spicy and is best for fish fry. I always pan fry with less oil, which makes it more crispy and healthy as it takes very less oil. So I don't like deep fried fish because it takes more oil and unhealthy, though may be it's tasty but never can be healthy.

Ingredients:
------------
2 Tilapia fillets (whole or cut into cubes)
1 tsp Red Chili powder
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
1 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
1/2 tsp Ginger-garlic paste
salt to taste
1 tsp Olive Oil

Method:
---------
1. Clean and wash the fish fillet in cold water and drain all the excess water.
2. Marinate fish with all the ingredients except the oil for about 5 mins.
3. In a saute pan add oil and spread it around the pan and when it's hot place the fish and cook/fry it for about 3-4 mins each side.
4. Serve this hot as a side for any dish for any meal.
