Notes
Marinating with salt, lemon juice and turmeric powder actually removes the strong smell of the fish.
I have used kokum water. If you do not have it, use tamarind water. Add it gradually to make a thick paste.
I have used fine sooji in the recipe. You can use any variant.
Put the final crispy coating just before frying the fish to achieve the right texture.
Fry the fish pieces on a medium to high flame, or else it will lose moisture and remove the coating.
