Ingredients

  • 1 lb Fish Fillets (e.g., Cod, Tilapia)
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp salt. Stir everything together until it forms a thick paste.
  2. 2Add the 1 lb fish fillets to the bowl with the spice mixture. Use your hands or a spoon to coat each fillet completely with the paste, making sure no part of the fish is left uncovered.
  3. 3Pour the 1/2 cup oil into a large skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers, which should take about 3-5 minutes. The oil is ready when a tiny piece of almond flour dropped in sizzles immediately.
  4. 4Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot oil, ensuring they do not touch each other. Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the coating is golden brown and crisp.
  5. 5Flip the fish fillets over and fry for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. 6Using a spatula, remove the cooked fish fillets from the skillet. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
  7. 7Serve the Keto Masala Fish Fry hot.
