A delicious and lip smacking fresh fish fry which is also known as Bombli fry or Bombay duck, is very popular in Mumbai, Konkan and the western coastal areas.
Wash and clean fresh Bombay duck fish and cut them into two halves and put in a mixing bowl. Add crushed green chillies, ginger garlic paste, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, chopped coriander leaves, salt and about 1 tbsp rice flour (this helps in coating the masala to the fish). Mix all the ingredients well so that the fish is nicely coated with the spices. Heat oil in a hot pan or tawa and pan fry the fish pieces until crisp and golden in colour.
