Nutritional Information
Fish fry masalas are typically made with ground spices, salt and sometimes a binding flour. Fish itself is generally recognized as a source of protein, while frying adds oil, so balance your plate with rice and vegetables. For exact nutrition values and allergen information, check the Nutrition Facts panel on the pack.


Cooking Suggestions
• Mix the masala with lemon juice and a little water into a paste, then rub onto kingfish, pomfret or tilapia
• Rest the fish for 20 to 30 minutes so the spices soak in
• Shallow fry in coconut oil or gingelly oil on a hot tawa until both sides are crisp
• Serve with sambar rice, rasam or a simple curd rice
• Coat prawns and pan-fry with curry leaves for a quick side dish


Frequently Asked Questions
Which fish works best with this masala?
Firm fish like kingfish (vanjaram), mackerel, pomfret and salmon hold their shape well, but any white fish fillet can be used.
Can I bake or grill the fish instead of frying?
Yes. Brush with oil and bake or grill until the fish flakes easily, turning once for an even crust.
Should I add salt when using the masala?
Many spice mixes already include salt, so read the pack and taste a small amount before seasoning further.
