Chettinad Fish Fry / Chettinad Meen Varuval / Masala Fish Fry - Chettinad Style

Today's recipe is a spicy n yummy Fish Fry from the popular south Indian Chettinad Cuisine. My kids love Salmon Fry but recently tried Fry with other fishes - king fish, Rohu fish. And also For a change tried Chettinad style fish fry. Me n H love Chettinad recipes and i cook often both vegetarian & non vegetarian recipes. This Chettinad Style Fish Fry is a spicy and tasty fry using freshly ground masala with pearl onions/shallots, ginger, garlic & other spices. This is a very simple and easy to make fish fry with ground masla and only one thing is necessary for this simple fry, that is marination duration, the more the resting time more the taste and flavor. I always marinate the fish by morning around 8-9 and make the fry around 2 or 3 pm. I shallow fried the fish but you can also deep fry or toast in tawa for healthier option.
This recipe was lying in my draft for more than 2 months and i completely forgot about it. Today while cleaning my disk i came across these pictures and decided to post it without any further delay. Now to the recipe..
