Black Pepper Fish Fry
Black pepper fish fry refers to shallow fried Rohu or any other fish pieces marinated in a mixture of ginger and garlic paste, lemon juice, chaat masala powder and a specially prepared ground masala.

Notes
I have used Rohu fish in the recipe. You can take any fish variety.
Do not use more cumin seeds than I mentioned for a kilo of fish. The dish will become bitter.
Want the fish pieces to be tangier? Add more chaat masala powder and lemon juice to the marinade.
A bit of Kashmiri red chili powder on top of the marinated fish pieces adds to the visual appeal. Do not use food color.
I always fry fish in mustard oil for the rich taste. You can use any variety of cooking oil.
