00:00Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim, Assalam-o-Alaikum, ladies and gentlemen, today I am going to tell you how to fry fish.

00:05I have already made a video on how to fry fish, but we didn't use gram flour in that video.

00:09In Pakistan, you will find two types of fish in almost every city and every place.

00:15One type of fish is fried with spices.

00:19The other type of fish is fried with gram flour.

00:22There are two types of people in the world.

00:24One type of people like fish with gram flour and the other type of people like fish with spices.

00:30So, if you like fish with spices, then you can watch the video that is being shown here.

00:35I hope you will make it and enjoy it.

00:39You will forget all the restaurants.

00:41The things that I am telling you, we are cooking ourselves.

00:45After a lot of experience, a lot of trial and error, you get recipes and they are perfect.

00:52So, today I will tell you about fish with gram flour.

00:55In fish with gram flour, the pieces are a little small.

00:58So, I have filled this paratha with fish.

01:00Most of the fish we have is from the farm because we are about 700-800 km away from the sea.

01:05So, it is very difficult to get fresh seafood here.

01:08So, we have to rely on the fish from the farm.

01:12This fish is called Rohu.

01:15Cut it into small pieces.

01:17It looks a little yellowish.

01:19The reason for this is that I washed it with vinegar and salt.

01:22The first thing to do when cooking fish is to wash it well.

01:26When the fish is fresh, there is a smell in it.

01:29So, you have to wash it well with vinegar and salt.

01:33After that, wash it well with water so that the sourness of vinegar and the sharpness of salt comes out of it.

01:40We will apply the spices again.

01:42So, now it is almost dry.

01:44I have removed all the water from it.

01:45Now it is time to marinate it.

01:47Now, I have taken a bowl.

01:48First, we will put the spices in it so that we can mix them well and then apply it to the fish.

01:53I have kept it on a scale so that I can guess the right amount of spices in it.

01:58I will tell you in tablespoons.

02:01This is salt.

02:01I have taken the salt of my Khiora.

02:05So, it is 6 kg.

02:06So, this is a tablespoon in it.

02:08I will put about 3.5 to 4 tablespoons.

02:11This salt will be equal for our fish.

02:14After that, we will put chili flakes in it.

02:16I have to keep it a little spicy in the marination.

02:19So, we will use two types of chilies in it.

02:21First of all, we will put chili flakes in it.

02:23We will put 3 tablespoons in it.

02:25We will put 15 to 20 grams of chilies in it.

02:29We will put 3 to 4 tablespoons of red chilies in it.

02:33This will be equal to about 30 grams.

02:36After that, we will take coriander.

02:37We have to take coriander powder but you don't have to make it a powder.

02:41It will be a little coarse.

02:42It gives a lot of taste to the gram flour.

02:43We will put about 3 to 4 tablespoons in it.

02:46We will make it equal to about 20 grams.

02:48Cumin seeds should also be a little coarse.

02:50This is also about 20 grams.

02:51We will put carom seeds in it.

02:53If you don't use carom seeds in fish, then it doesn't taste good.

02:56We will put 1.5 tablespoons of carom seeds in it.

02:57If you put more carom seeds, then it will be bitter.

02:59These are seeds.

03:00These are small seeds.

03:01So, it will have a bitter taste.

03:03Finally, we will put 2 tablespoons of turmeric in it.

03:05This will be your fish spice.

03:07We are going to marinate 6 kilograms of fish in it.

03:10If someone wants, he can make it and sell it.

03:13This spice is sold for about 1000 rupees per kilogram.

03:17And it doesn't have a lot of spices in it.

03:19So, it is a very profitable business if someone wants to do spices.

03:23We will put this spice on the fish.

03:28Along with this, we have to add some things that will make it sour.

03:32Lemon and tamarind.

03:33These two things are easily available.

03:35You have to add them in it.

03:37So, put the lemon juice in it.

03:40About 5 lemons are enough.

03:42Because we have to put tamarind in it as well.

03:44So, don't put too much lemon in it.

03:46I have taken 100 grams of tamarind and soaked it in half a cup of water.

03:50Now, we will separate its bones.

03:52We will put its pulp only at the bottom.

03:54This will give a great flavor to the fish marination.

03:58Now, we have to mix all this mixture.

04:00So that all the spices get applied on the fish.

04:03All the things get mixed.

04:12We are doing the fish marination first.

04:15Otherwise, some people coat the fish with spices and fry it.

04:19This will not give flavor to the fish.

04:21We are doing the fish marination because we have to remove the extra water from the fish.

04:26The spices that we have applied on the fish will dehydrate the fish.

04:29And when the water will be removed from the fish, it will become mushy.

04:34And it will not become foamy.

04:37If I put a layer on the fish and start cooking it, the water will not come out.

04:44Because there is a layer outside.

04:45So, we will remove the water first and then put a layer on the fish and fry it.

04:48And big chefs will tell you to put this and that in the fish.

04:52There is no need to put anything.

04:53There are basic spices in big homes.

04:55You have to apply this.

04:57And your flavor will be amazing.

04:59You don't need to listen to anyone.

05:01Just put these simple spices and cook it.

05:03And enjoy the simple flavor.

05:05See, the fish has been mixed well.

05:07All the spices have been distributed.

05:09All the pieces have been applied equally.

05:11Now it will go in the fish fridge.

05:13It has to be marinated for 12 to 24 hours.

05:16You don't have to freeze it at a cold temperature.

05:18But it has to be kept in a cold place in the fridge.

05:20Because it is hot now.

05:21And I will marinate it for 12 to 18 hours.

05:24After that, God willing, we will cook it.

05:2624 hours have passed since this fish has been marinated.

05:29What happened to it within 24 hours?

05:31The salt that we applied to it with the spices.

05:34That salt dehydrated it.

05:35It means that its water was removed.

05:37Now there is no excess water in it.

05:39It has its own muscles.

05:40And when we fry it, the best fish will be cooked from inside.

05:44If I show you closely, the spices are applied well to it.

05:48And all the spices were spread well.

05:50And there is not much water in it.

05:52Now for this fish, we have to make a gram flour batter.

05:55Take a bowl.

05:56Put half a kilo of gram flour in that bowl.

05:58We have applied proper spices, salt etc. to the fish.

06:01For this gram flour only, we have applied half a teaspoon of salt.

06:04So that the flavor comes in it too.

06:05There is a little carom seeds.

06:07Consider it a quarter teaspoon.

06:08And these are chili flakes.

06:09We have added a quarter teaspoon to it.

06:11Add water to it.

06:12And mix it well to make a thin batter.

06:15So that it becomes a thin layer.

06:17We don't have to put too much water on it.

06:19And mix it well to make a batter.

06:24The fish is ready here.

06:26And the batter for the gram flour is ready here.

06:28I will show you how thick it should be.

06:30Look at this.

06:31If you put a spoon in it and take it out,

06:33there should be this much layer on it.

06:35Look at this.

06:36Can you see this?

06:38It shouldn't flow from the top.

06:40There should be a layer like this.

06:42So this much layer will come on top of the fish.

06:44I have put about 2.5 cups of water in about half a kilo of gram flour.

06:47Now when all our preparations are done,

06:49we will do the frying.

06:50For frying, let me tell you one thing.

06:52Whatever utensil you are using,

06:54whatever pan you are using,

06:55its handle should be thick.

06:57If its handle is not thick,

06:58then your fish will burn

07:00and stick to the handle.

07:02So for that, what you have to do is

07:04take a thick pan.

07:05Now I have taken a copper pan here.

07:07You don't need to take a copper pan,

07:09but you can take a heavy pan.

07:11This pan weighs about 4 kilos.

07:13So this is a very good frying pan for anything.

07:16So I have put the oil here.

07:18The oil is hot.

07:19I have heated this oil for about 8 minutes on medium flame.

07:23The flame below it is still a little high.

07:26So keep it on medium to high

07:28and put the fish in it.

07:30After putting it, we will slow it down.

07:32And here our batter is ready.

07:34Simply dip it here.

07:36And let the batter come off.

07:38Because if there is extra on it,

07:40then it will spoil your ghee.

07:42Once it comes off,

07:44put it in it.

07:45You should have hot oil in it.

07:46Drop it in it.

07:57Once you put the fish in it,

07:59you have to slow down the flame

08:01and take it from medium to low.

08:03See, the coating will come on it like this.

08:06And it will cook along with the coating.

08:09And you will get the best flavor.

08:11Believe me, this fish is very good.

08:14It will be crispy on the outside

08:16and soft inside.

08:20So the fish is ready.

08:22It won't take much time.

08:247-8 minutes is enough for the fish.

08:26Because we have dehydrated it before,

08:29so fish doesn't take much time to cook.

08:32So don't overcook it.

08:34Let it cook for 8 minutes.

08:36Then your fish will be ready.

08:38And see the layer of batter,

08:40it is very crispy on it.

08:43And the fish will be cooked from inside.

08:45So I am taking it out from here.

08:53See, I have cooked a lot of fish.

08:55This is the last pool I have put in it.

08:58Once it is cooked, it will be ready.

09:00And I have taken one piece.

09:02And it is very crispy on the outside.

09:05It softens with time.

09:08If you keep it big, it will soften.

09:10Let's take the fish out from inside.

09:14See the muscles of the fish.

09:16You can see these layers.

09:26So if you make a layer of batter and put fresh fish on it,

09:29it doesn't have this thing inside.

09:31Because it has a lot of water in it.

09:33The water doesn't let it cook properly.

09:37Let me taste it a little.

09:38It is very hot.

09:47As soon as it goes inside the mouth,

09:49the flavor comes.

09:50If you put fresh fish with spices,

09:52it is like flour from inside.

09:55But this flavor is coming inside.

09:57The salt has reached inside.

09:59The spices have reached inside.

10:01It has a great flavor.

10:06If you make this for someone,

10:08you will beat the big fish shops.

10:12Because we have perfected everything.

10:14And the end result will also be perfect.

10:17As I showed you.

10:19So do try this.

10:21Winter is coming ahead.

10:22There is a lot of seafood.

10:23If it is still available, try it.

10:26See you in the next recipe.

10:28Take good care of yourself.

10:29Allah Hafiz.
