Welcome to Cooking Studio 51. Today, we will make freshly breaded spicy fried fish.

Gather your ingredients: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 kg fish, 1.5 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 1/2 tbsp crushed cumin, 1/2 tbsp crushed coriander, 3/4 tbsp ajwain, 1 tbsp red chili powder, 1/2 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves, 1/2 tbsp turmeric, and salt to taste.

In a bowl, add 1/2 cup yogurt, 1.5 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 3/4 tbsp ajwain, 1/2 tbsp crushed cumin, 1 tbsp red chili powder, 1/2 tbsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves. Mix well.

Add salt to taste and 1/2 tbsp turmeric. Mix everything together to create a marinade.

Cut the fish into slices and add it to the marinade. Ensure the fish is well coated. Let it marinate.

For the breading, prepare fresh bread crumbs using a blender. Ensure the bread is chilled for better blending.

Once the bread crumbs are ready, ensure they are separated and not clumped together for even coating.

Slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline or slicer. These will be served as straw potatoes with the fish.

After slicing, prepare the fish for frying by dipping it first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally coating it with the fresh bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying. Carefully place the breaded fish in the hot oil, frying until golden brown, turning once for even cooking.

Once cooked, remove the fish from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Check the color to ensure it is golden and crispy.

Serve the fried fish with the straw potatoes, garnished as desired.
