MACKEREL MASALA FRY !!!!!

I adopted this recipe from SHILPA'S COOK BOOK. This is an easy to make tasty recipe.

Ingredients:
Mackerel - 4 ( cleaned but kept whole )
Fried dry red chillies - 10 ( alter based on your palate)
Tamarind - 1 small lemon sized ball
Fried coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Fried Jeera/Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Hing/Asofoetida - 1 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Lime juice - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp



Method:
Clean the Mackerel and marinate apply little salt and lime juice and keep aside.
Now grind the fried red chillies, tamarind, fried coriander seeds, fried jeera, hing and salt along with a few teaspoons of water to form a smooth thick paste.
Now take a griddle, place on medium heat, add oil, put 1/4th of the ground paste on the tawa and spread evenly.
Now keep the mackerel on the tawa above the masala or ground paste and smear another 1/4th of the masala on top of the fish and cover the pan for 2 mins so that the fish is cooked.
Now turn the fish over, pour the remaining masala/ground paste all over and sides of the fish and cover and cook for 2 mins. 
Now turn over and fry for 1 min on each side till its nice and glazy.
Serve hot with onion and lemon wedges. 

HAPPY COOKING :))))))
