Step 1: Cleaning the Fish
First, take **500 grams** of **pomfret fish**.Clean the fish thoroughly and wash it **2-3 times**. After cleaning, make **2-3 cuts** on each side of the fish. This will help the marinade penetrate deep into the fish.
Step 2: Applying Lemon and Salt
Once the fish is cleaned and cut, sprinkle **½ tsp salt** and add **lemon juice** on the fish.Massage the salt and lemon juice into the fish to remove any smell. If you don’t have lemon, you can also use **kokum water** instead.Flip the fish and repeat the process on the other side.

1 tbsp fish masala powder (if unavailable, you can skip this)

Step 4: Coating the Fish
Coat the fish with the prepared spice paste. Rub the marinade thoroughly into the cuts and all over the fish. The cornflour will help seal the spices, making the fish crispy and flavorful. Let the fish marinate for **1-2 hours** in the fridge. If you have more time, you can leave it longer.
Step 5: Heating the Oil
After marinating the fish, heat **5-6 tbsp oil** in a pan on medium heat.Once the oil is hot, carefully place the fish in the pan. Make sure not to touch the fish for the first 2-3 minutes.
