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.
