I always love fish fries with masala stuck on it. The plain chilli powder, salt, lemon juice combo fish fries you get in the restaurants tastes like “karuvaadu”…….. atleast to me.

This is the way my mom fries fish and this recipe has been in our house for generations. The masala can be modified here and there to suit each ones needs
