This recipe creates a wonderfully spicy fried fish, ideal for a quick lunch or snack. Any firm-fleshed fish suitable for frying works well, with sea-water varieties being particularly good.

It is traditionally served with rice for a complete meal.

Ingredients

6 pieces flounder (avoid de-boning, washed, drained)
1 cup cooking oil
2 tablespoons turmeric powder
2 tablespoons black-pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon fish curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust according to taste)

Method

Put the fish pieces into a deep dish or casserole.
Mix all the spice ingredients with the fish. Should the mixture seem too dry, incorporate 2 to 3 tablespoons of filtered water.
Warm a pan or wok and add the cooking oil, heating it until very hot.
Fry the fish in batches, placing 2 pieces in at a time. For smaller fish, you might fit 3 pieces.
Cook until the underside is golden brown, then flip to colour the other side equally.
Remove the cooked fish from the pan and transfer to a plate for serving.
This dish pairs wonderfully with plain rice.
