Clean and scale the red snapper, removing the insides and gills.

Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, mix gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, crushed fennel powder, and salt.

Add lemon juice to the mixture and mix well to form a paste.

Rub the spice paste all over the fish, ensuring it's well-coated inside and out.

Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

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

Carefully place the marinated fish in the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.

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

In the same oil, add sliced onions, green chilies, ginger, and garlic, frying until golden.

Add curry leaves and fry for an additional minute until fragrant.

Serve the fried fish garnished with fresh coriander and accompanied by lemon wedges.
