Rustic Banana Leaf Fish Fry Recipe

Follow me on FB and Zomato..

The first time I tasted this fish fry was at karavalli The Gateway Hotels. I loved the spicy tangy fish fry was very tasty. The original recipe they added a vinegar from coorg which is also know as kachampulli we can substitute this with tamarind pulp regular vinegar or lime juice. However in my experiment I attempted and added Worcestershire sauce which contains tamarind onion and garlic we totally loved all the flavors from this fish it had hint of pickle and banana leaf flavor which was yum when served with sambar and rice...
