Wash bhetki fish fillets properly and let water drain out.

Cut fish into finger-sized pieces, ensuring they are not too big.

Add 1/3 teaspoon ginger garlic paste, 1/3 teaspoon black pepper powder, salt to taste, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice to the fish and mix well.

Marinate the fish for 20 minutes.

Beat 2 eggs with salt and a pinch of black pepper powder.

After 20 minutes, add 3-4 teaspoons of the egg mixture to the marinated fish and mix well.

Add 2 tablespoons of maida (refined flour) to the fish and mix.

Prepare bread crumbs in a bowl, adding a pinch of black pepper powder and salt to taste, and mix well.

Coat each piece of fish with bread crumbs, then dip in the egg mixture, and coat again with bread crumbs for extra crispiness.

Let the coated fish fingers sit for 10 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the coating.

Heat refined oil in a kadhai, then lower the flame before adding the fish fingers to prevent over-frying.

Fry the fish fingers for 2-3 minutes, then continue frying for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fish fingers from the oil and drain on paper towels.
