Description

Masala Tawa Fish Fry is a popular South Indian dish where fresh fish slices are coated in a fiery red masala and shallow-fried on a hot tawa (flat pan) until golden and crispy. The marinade typically includes red chili powder, turmeric, garlic paste, and a touch of lemon juice, making each bite zesty, smoky, and delicious.

Unlike deep frying, tawa frying uses less oil while still achieving a crispy outer crust and a juicy, flaky interior. The intense spice rub enhances the natural taste of the fish and pairs perfectly with steamed rice, rasam, or as a standalone appetizer.

This dish is a common sight at South Indian homes and coastal eateries and is a must-try for seafood lovers.
