Description
Corn flakes fish. A recipe icame across in food satellite tv channai where chef harpel singn demonstrated this recipe. This dish makes a welcome change from the usual fish fries . This recipe is for keeps . I make another similar dish with cornflakes and chicken (recipe already posted in the name of cornflakes chicken ) a few days after I took note of this recipe , I took part in a cooking competition where we had to cook dishes made out of fish. This was one among the four dishes l cooked for the competition . It was great fun at the competition , I felt like a collage girl (not been to collage though :-))) ) this picture wad also taken at the competition . One suggestion , in case you want to save this fish fry for the next day , I recon not to use curd as the curd tends to give a very old curd small to the fish . A fool proof dish to make kids eat fish saying its chicken . Best served as a lazy sunday brunch in front of the telly with a choice of dips . Seduce yourself and all others with this impressive , captive appetiser .

- chilli powder , salt , turmeric powder and the spluttered ingredients . Toss well and set aside for half an hour . Make a batter with cornflour , maida and salt to taste of thick consistency like bajji batter .
- Dip each slice of marinated fish in this batter and press towards the cornflakes placed on tray . Do the same turning the fish over . Follow and do the same to all the remaining fish pieces .
- ( I follow till this point and refrigerate the cornflakes coated fish pieces and fry when ever required ) heat oil to deep fry . Lower the flame to medium heat and deep fry 6 pieces at a time for one minute on each side of the fish To golden brown . Make sure not to burn the cornflakes .
- Drain and serve hot with any dip of your choice . I love it with garlic mayonnaise . incase you want to fry the fish next day , substitute curd with lime juice
