bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko bread crumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed cornflakes

Panko provides a lighter, crispier texture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornstarch can create a lighter coating.

white fish fillets

🥗Healthier: cod

💰Cheaper: tilapia

Cod is a lean fish, while tilapia is often more affordable.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal + water

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Start by preparing the ingredients: measure 1 to 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

Squeeze the juice from 2 lemons into a bowl.

Chop 7 to 8 green chilies and 1.5 tablespoons of fresh coriander.

In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg.

Mix in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder into the egg.

Add 1 tablespoon of ghee, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of ajwain to the mixture.

Blend the chopped green chilies and coriander with the lemon juice until it forms a paste.

Combine the paste with the flour mixture and mix well until combined, ensuring not to overmix.

Marinate the fish fillets in the prepared mixture for 2 to 2.5 hours for better flavor, or for a quicker option, you can skip this step.

Prepare 2 to 2.5 cups of bread crumbs in a shallow dish.

Coat the marinated fish fillets with the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry the coated fish fillets, allowing one side to cook until golden brown before flipping to the other side.

Ensure the heat is medium-low to cook the fish thoroughly without burning the outside.

Once both sides are golden brown, remove the fish from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
