Step 1 – Marinate the Fish for Amritsari Fish Recipe

As we have said earlier, the real authentic Amritsari Fish Recipe is prepared with very less spices so that the spices should not destroy the real taste of Fish. So we will marinate the fish here with very less spices. Follow these simple recipe instructions to marinate Fish for Amritsari Fish Recipe.

Wash 500 Grams boneless and skinless Fish properly with Salt and Lemon. Remember, Fish meat are very tender so make sure you wash them very gently so that Fish pieces should not break or mess-up.
Keep the washed Fish in a strainer for 15 minutes for that the extra water is strained out of Fish.
Then take the washed Fish in big bowl and add marinating spices.
So add 1 small Tsp Salt (नमक) (to taste), 1 Tsp Red Chilli Powder (लाल मिर्च पाउडर), ½ Tsp Black Pepper Powder (काली मिर्च पाउडर) and 3 to 4 Tsp Lemon Juice (नीम्बू का रस).
Add 1 Tsp Ginger Garlic Paste (अदरक लहसुन पेस्ट). Prefer to use homemade Ginger Garlic Paste. To make homemade Ginger Garlic paste, take 40% Ginger and 60% Garlic and grind with little water to make a fine paste. You can store the remaining Ginger Garlic Paste for 15 days in refrigerator.
Mix well and gently rub all the spices on Fish pieces with your hands.
Keep aside to marinate for 30 to 40 minutes.
After 30 minutes, add 2 Tsp Gram Flour (बेसन), 1 Tsp Rice Flour (चावल का आटा), 1 Nos Raw Egg (कच्चा अंडा) and a small pinch of Red Food Color (खाने का लाल रंग) (Optional).
Mix well so all spices are well coated on Fish pieces. Your fish is ready to give a fry, so let’s see how to fry Amritsari fish in next step.

Step 2 – See How to Fry the Amritsari Fish

Time needed: 30 minutes

So we have the Fish marinated and this is the time to fry our Authentic Amritsari Fish. Follow these simple recipe instructions to make the Amritsari Fish.

Heat enough Oil for deep fry in a non-stick frying pan at medium flame. Remember that Amritsari fish will be fried only at medium flame throughout the entire frying process. Only the last 1 minute fry will be at high flame. So take care of your gas flame.
When Oil is hot, gently add marinated Fish pieces one by one and fry from one side for 4 to 5 minutes at medium flame. Do not overcook.
When Fish is fried from one side, flip the fish and fry from other side too for 3 to 4 minutes at medium flame.
Now gently flip the Fish pieces once again.
Then switch the gas flame to high and fry the fish at high flame just for 1 minute. This last 1 minute fry will make fish crunchy and crispy outside while keeping it soft and juicy inside.
Take the Amritsari fish out in a plate on tissue paper or kitchen towel.
Your Amritsari Fish is ready, dish-out and sprinkle some chat masala powder on fish pieces. Serve hot with your favorite sauce and a cup of hot tea.
