Clean the fish using tamarind paste and turmeric powder, coating the fish thoroughly.

Massage rock salt into the fish to remove surface dirt and lingering smells.

Rinse the fish with water to remove the coatings.

Marinate the fish with half tablespoon of chili powder, 3 teaspoons of turmeric powder, and salt, adding 1 teaspoon of water to help the spices stick.

Let the fish marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.

Heat sufficient oil in a flat pan over low flame for frying.

Add one or two fish at a time to the pan.

Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, adjusting time based on color.

When flipping the fish, add 6 garlic cloves with skin and a sprig of curry leaves one minute before removing the fish.

Scoop and drizzle the flavorful oil over the fish as it fries.

Drain excess oil before plating the fish.
