In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and red chili powder.

Dredge the marinated fish in the flour mixture until fully coated.

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

Carefully place the coated fish in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Fry the fish until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

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

Serve hot with sliced onion, tomato, and cucumber on the side.
