Fish Masala Fry.

How I learnt it – My brother-in- law came to visit us. He loves to eat fish. The coastal city, kochi, kerala gave him ample opportunity to relish different preparations of fish. Invariably, I made fish everyday. It allowed me to experiment few dishes. This is the one which he liked the most. Gyan this recipe is dedicated to you. Thanks for all the support and motivation shown by you.
