Clean and scale the fish thoroughly.

Make slits on both sides of the fish for better marination.

In a bowl, mix turmeric, red chili powder, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and salt to form a marinade.

Apply the marinade generously on the fish, ensuring it gets into the slits.

Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Carefully place the marinated fish in the hot oil.

Fry the fish for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.

Flip the fish and fry for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through and crispy.

Add curry leaves to the oil for flavor during the last minute of frying.

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