Kerala fish fry recipe that is literally hot and spicy. Vinegar used in this recipe makes a pleasant tangy addition to this simple dish that can be easily prepared at home.
Fish fry was something I always ate growing up in Kerala, the southern state of India. In Kerala, fish is staple food, and is eaten more often than chicken or meat.
This recipe is very classic and pairs really well with rice. Although it's very spicy, you could adjust the heat level depending on your taste.
This fish fry recipe is easy to make, super tasty, and I'm sure you'll love it.
