Crispy Catfish:
Ingredients:
2 large fillets of Catfish
1/4 cup Wheat flour
1/4 cup Semolina (Rava)
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
1/4 tsp Coriander Powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt to taste
Lime juice
Some olive oil
I cut the 2 huge fillets (as bought from Costco) into 2 so I ended up with 4 of them and then I butterfly sliced them horizontally because I like my fillets thin. Wash, cut, and pat dry the fish. Drizzle some olive oil. Sprinkle all ingredients from Turmeric to Salt. Rub it in and set aside for atleast 1 hr in the fridge. When ready to fry, mix the wheat flour and the semolina together. Drizzle oil on a pan and let it heat up. Coat the fish in this rub and dust excess flour off. Gently place fillets in the pan and shallow fry them for 3 to 4 minutes each side. After doing both sides, I put the flame really low and let the fish kind of sit on the pan to get crispy (about 2 minutes or so). Squeeze some lime juice on the fillets. Serve hot.
If you do not have these ingredients, marinate the fish in oil, lime juice, salt, garlic powder and paprika. Use a store bought Fish Fry mixture to coat and fry.
The semolina or rava gives the fish that crispy texture. If you do not have it, thats fine, use wheat flour only. If you dont have wheat flour, use allpurpose flour but add some spices (salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, etc). Skys the limit!
Happy Eating!!!
