In a mixing bowl, combine spicy chili powders, Kashmiri chili powder, salt, coriander powder, pepper powder, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, and turmeric powder. Add a little water and make a thick paste. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Fish masala is ready.

Apply a thin layer of this masala on both sides of the fish. Apply masala on the sides too. Marinate for 30 minutes. Keep it in the refrigerator.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot enough, place the marinated fish in it.

Gently flip it after 2 minutes and set the heat on medium-low. The timing depends on the thickness of fish. It will flip easily when cooked well at the bottom without sticking to the pan.

Add curry leaves to the oil. Cook on low heat until the fish is fried crispy on both sides. Remove it to a plate. Serve with rice and dal as a side dish.
