- I have used sheer fish for this you can use any boneless fish.
- 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.
