Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl, mix the chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, coriander powder, hing, ginger, garlic and green chili paste with the lime juice - this is the marinade.

Chef's notes
Adding the rice flour, gives the fried fish a crunchy coating
Lime juice can be replaced with tamarind water or even vinegar
You can flash freeze and later freeze the marinated fish steaks to cook them later as well. Once coated with the semolina mix, place the steaks in a plate and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove, transfer them to a zip lock bag and freeze, to use later
