Clean and scale the fish thoroughly.

Season the fish generously with salt.

Make a marinade with garlic, green chilli, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and coriander powder.

Coat the fish with the marinade and let it sit for a while.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully place the fish in the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides.

Remove the fish and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil and sauté chopped garlic until fragrant.

Drizzle garlic oil over the fried fish.

Garnish with fresh lemon juice, chopped coriander leaves, red chilli, chilli sauce, and tomato sauce before serving.
