Lahore Fry Fish



I still remember going for shopping with my father and see all those whole fish fried the aroma of the fry fish make you stop and buy them. its so yummy crispy, spicy and delicious .when ever I make this fry fish I just served them with homemade naan ,salad and lemons  .its very important  that the sauce stick to the fish  just like potato  pakora. Because this will give extra layer of flavor.
And when it comes to spices it up to you how much spices you want you can make it more spicy by add more chilies

  10. arrange them in single layer in baking sheet ,and bake them at 290.f about 25 to 30 minutes, flip them over once , check them after 10 to 15 minutes until crispy .good luck another idea will be to get ready a fish just add lemon juice and keep it fridge ,and make mix ready in zip lock bag.to speed up the cooking.
    good luck.
