- Using banana leaves to fry the fish helps in reducing the oil required in frying and it also imparts a nice flavor and aroma to the fried fish.
- If banana leaves are not available shallow fry the fish in a heavy bottomed pan.In that case add a handful of curry leaves into the hot oil before placing the fish.
- Adjust the quantity of pepper according to your taste.
