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

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

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil, draining excess oil on paper towels.

Garnish with sliced green chilies and fresh coriander before serving.
