Bombay Duck

Contrary to what the name suggests, bombay duck refers to a fish. Now personally, I never really liked this fish, until I finally got the recipe right. Its a damn tasty fish. I am writing the recipe for you here, hope you all love it as much I did! :)

Ingredients:

• Bombil(Bombay Duck) - around 4-5 nos
• Fine powdered rice flour
• Red Chilli powder - 1-2 tsp
• Ginger Garlic paste-1-2 tsp
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Oil to fry
• Salt to taste - typically 1tsp
• Finely chopped coriander for garnish

Procedure:

• Wash and clean the fish. Cut off the pointy scales and teeth with a scissor
• Now this is an important step. Put all the fish is a flat dish, put another flat dish on it and then put a heavy weight (something like close to 5-6kg) on it. Also put the dish at an angle so that the water drains off. Leave the fish like this for around 30 mins 
• Mix the lime juice, Chilli powder, Ginger garlic paste, salt with the fish
• Take the rice flour in a flat dish
• Heat some oil in a frying pan
• Coat each fish with rice flour and fry it for around 5mins
• Serve hot garnished with coriander and lemon
