Tips/ Notes:

1. We often use cumin , garlic , ginger while frying the fish . Trust me , your fish tastes better without these spice !!!!!!! The more spice you use , the more flavor you lose !!!!!!

2. While frying the fish , fry the fish when the oil is hot enough ! other wise your fish will stick on the pan !!! But don’t heat the oil too much so that your fish gets burnt the moment you add them on the oil!!!!!!!!! Always fry fishes on medium low flame .
