Whether you’re planning a family dinner or simply treating yourself, pomfret is a healthy and flavorful addition to your menu. With Coast & Co., you can recreate this iconic dish effortlessly in your kitchen.

To make this mouthwatering fish fry, you’ll need:

• Pomfret Fish: Use whole pomfret for a traditional look or fillets for convenience.
• Coast & Co. Fish Fry Masala: Expertly crafted to capture authentic coastal flavors.
• Lemon Juice or Tamarind Paste: Adds a tangy touch to enhance the flavors.
• Rice Flour or Gram Flour (Optional): For an extra crispy finish.
• Fresh Curry Leaves: Complements the coastal flavors and adds aroma.
• Vegetable Oil: For shallow frying.

1. Step 1: Clean the Pomfret
   Begin by washing the pomfret thoroughly under running water. If using whole fish, make shallow cuts on both sides to let the masala seep in deeply for enhanced flavor.
2. Step 2: Marinate with Coast & Co. Masala
   In a mixing bowl, combine Coast & Co.’s ready-to-cook Fish Fry Masala with a small amount of water to create a thick paste. Add a dash of lemon juice or tamarind paste for a tangy twist. Generously coat the fish with this paste, ensuring the masala fills the cuts. Let the fish marinate for 10–15 minutes to absorb the spices fully.
3. Step 3: Prepare for Frying
   Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan until it’s hot and shimmering. For a crispy finish, lightly coat the marinated fish with rice flour or gram flour before frying.
4. Step 4: Fry the Pomfret
   Carefully place the fish into the hot oil. Fry one side for 3–4 minutes without moving it, ensuring it develops a golden, crispy crust. Gently flip the fish and fry the other side for another 3–4 minutes. Avoid flipping the fish repeatedly to prevent it from breaking.
5. Step 5: Garnish and Serve
   Once fried to perfection, remove the fish from the pan and drain any excess oil on a paper towel. Garnish with fresh curry leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges for an aromatic and flavorful coastal treat.
