Kerala style Karimeen Fry

Karimeen is the malayam term used for Pearl fish.
Its quite difficult to find pearl fish in Uk fish market.. so here in this picture i have used pomfret fish instead.

This is my first attempt at it and it turned out absolutly delicious! Hope you all try it and as usual waiting for your feedback.

Karimeen (pearl Fish) - Cleaned and washed

Make several incisions on the flat part of the fish for better marination.

For marination:

Chilly powder-1 tsp
