Clean the whole fish thoroughly, removing the gills and stomach.

Make cuts in the fish for better marination.

Prepare the marinade by mixing ginger garlic paste, fresh lemon juice, salt, turmeric powder, cumin, coriander powder, paprika powder, Arabic masala powder, and gram flour.

Rub the marinade inside the fish and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan over medium flame for frying.

Fry the fish on medium flame to avoid burning the spices and ensure the fish cooks through.

Fry until both sides are golden brown, then remove and drain on tissue paper to absorb excess oil.

Serve the fried fish on a plate lined with lettuce, garnished with chili lemon, tomato rose flower, and spring onion.
