Marinate fish fillets with turmeric, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare a breading station with rice flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs in separate bowls.

Coat each marinated fish fillet in rice flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Heat mustard oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the coated fish fillets in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

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

Serve hot with sliced onions, cucumber, lime wedges, and fresh coriander.
