Using fresh ingredients enhances flavor.

Clean the palua fish thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, combine rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.

Add lemon juice and ginger-garlic paste to the spice mixture and mix well to form a paste.

Coat the fish evenly with the spice paste, ensuring it is well covered.

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

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

Carefully place the marinated fish in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Fry the fish until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.

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

Garnish with chopped fresh coriander and serve hot with onion slices and green chilies.
