This is a simple fish fry recipe which is very common is Kerala. Ayakkoora (Seer Fish), Avoli (Pomfret), Mackerel, Sardine etc. are usually fried in this way. While frying, other than chilli powder & turmeric no other spices will be used. I think adding some coating using corn flour or arrow root powder might help in frying fish easily without breaking. But real taste of fish comes out with this type of frying.
