Kanthari Fish Masala

The hero of this dish

On the Malabar coast, a fish fry is judged by its heat and its crunch. This one delivers both — in 20 minutes, with one secret weapon.

Our Kanthari Fish Masala carries the slow-burn punch of bird’s-eye chilli balanced with turmeric, black pepper and curry leaf. Marinate, sear, and serve hot with lime — no long ingredient list, no shortcuts on flavour.

Method

1

Marinate

Coat 500 g fish with 2 tbsp Kanthari Fish Masala, a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime. Rest 15 minutes.

2

Heat the pan

Warm coconut oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add a sprig of curry leaves.

3

Sear

Lay the fish in gently. Fry 4–5 minutes per side until the crust turns deep red and crisp.

4

Serve hot

Finish with fresh lime and sliced shallots. Best with steamed rice or kappa.
