Ingredients

4 medium pomfrets

2 tablespoons ginger chopped
15-16 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons tamarind pulp

Method

Put cumin seeds, black peppercorns, ginger, garlic, red chillies, tamarind pulp, malt vinegar and salt in a blender jar, add a little water and blend into a smooth paste.
Make incisions on both sides of the pomfrets, sprinkle some salt and rub it in. Apply the ground paste, rub it in well on both sides of all the pomfrets and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat some oil in a non-stick pan. Place the marinated pomfret, one at a time, and shallow-fry, turning the fish till they are fully cooked and evenly browned on both sides.
Transfer the pomfrets onto individual serving plates and serve hot with onion rings and lemon wedges.
