Amritsari fish fry recipe / crispy fried fish(restaurant style)

Amritsari fish fry recipe is a world famous dish with its crispy texture. This Lahori fish fry is double fried to bring that crisp texture.

Many of you have asked me repeatedly that” why you are not putting non vegetarian recipes”?. To their surprise hereafter I will be blogging non vegetarian dishes to fulfill their wishes. I have no particular reason for not publishing non-veg recipes. Excellent restaurant style dish with a thin coating of

besan and definitely not a pakora for that reason its called as Amritsari fish fry. Here I have used sheer fish It should be boneless for best results. If you get fresh water fish it will be super good. Best side dish (dip)for this is green chutney and I loved this fried fish with a sprinkle of chatmasala for that chat pata taste. Do try this Amritsari fish fry recipe and definetly you are going to love it.

• Usually they make it with fresh water fish.
• I have added Kashmiri chilli powder if you want it spicy add regular chilli powder.
• Don’t miss to add ajwain it gives a nice flavour to the fish.
• Don’t make a floury batter add the given amount so that it lightly coats the fish.
