Kingfish Fry

Discover the Delightful Flavor of Kingfish Fry: A Must-Try South Indian Dish

Kingfish Fry is a popular and nutritious dish that is loved by many in South India. It's a simple fish fry that can be made with any white-fleshed fish, but for the best taste, we recommend using kingfish.

Our recipe is a favorite among many, including my son, who can't wait until lunchtime to indulge in its delicious flavors. If you're looking to try something new or are a fan of South Indian cuisine, then Kingfish Fry is a must-try dish that is sure to become one of your favorites.

To make the perfect Kingfish Fry, start by cleaning the fish with lemon and salt water to get rid of any unwanted fish smell. Then, heat the oil over medium heat to ensure that the fish cooks properly.

If you're health-conscious, try pan-frying the fish with just 2 to 3 tbsp of oil, and add some chopped curry leaves while stir-frying to enhance the flavor of the dish.

Here's a helpful tip: if you have any leftover marinade, store it in a ziplock bag in the freezer for another meal.
