Crispy Rohu Rawa Fry

Lobeo Rohita is the scientific name of Rohu Fish. This fresh water field fish, is an important human food source in parts of South India. Rohu is in high demand in India. As most of the fish this fresh water Carp fish is a rich source of protein, fatty acids, and essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, calcium, iron, zinc, and iodine.
I tried making a strong masala for this fish, as it is fresh water carp and it need more time for marination so that it tastes great. Try this simple fish fry and I am sure you will love it :P

Ingredients:
Rohu 1 kg (cut into even peices)
1 lemon juice
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Chilli powder- 6-8 tbsp as required
4-5 fine chops of garlic
2 strand of Curry leaves - very fine chops
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tbsp Ajwain -crush it coursly with pestle and motar 
Salt to taste
Coconut oil for deep fry
Chiroti Rawa for coating the fish before fry (you can also grind rice to rawa consistency and use for coating fish)

Method:

• Marinate the Rohu fish with lemon juice and salt and keep side for 15-20 mins. This process is really good before you process with any fresh water fish fry.

• Now add the Chilli powder, Turmeric powder, Ginger-garlic paste, Garlic fine chops, curry leaves fine chops, Ajwain and mix well. Adjust the salt if needed and keep aside the fish to marinate for 15 minutes (you can also keep the fish for more time, I had refrigerated the remaining fish along masala for night dinner and found the fish taste still yumm as the masala had marinated well into fish).

• When your ready for the fry, coat the fish well with rawa and deep fry in coconut oil. 
• Serve as side dish or as starter during the meal. Enjoy !
