Ingredients
  • Whole fish - 6 (350g)
  • Turmeric powder - ½ teaspoon
  • Curry powder/Chilli powder - ½ tablespoon
  • Thin tamarind juice - 100ml
  • Water - As you need (I used 150ml)
  • All-purpose flour - As you need (I used 100g)
  • Breadcrumbs - As you need (I used 100g)
  • Salt - As you need
  • Cooking oil - As you need
Instructions
  1. Take the fishes, clean, and rinse thoroughly. Place them in the pan. Add turmeric powder, curry powder, and salt.
  2. Add the tamarind juice and water. Mix everything well and switch on the flame. (Refer Note 1)
  3. Cook uncovered under high flame until the fish gets boiled and all the water disappears. For me, it takes about 10 minutes. During this time period, in the halfway through, turn the fishes to the next side.
  4. Let the fishes cool down.
  5. Now take the all purpose flour and add salt to it. (Refer Note 2)
  6. Add water time to time and mix well using your fingers.
  7. Make a smooth and thick liquid batter.
  8. Carefully take off the fishes from the pan and soak it into the batter you prepared.
  9. Now coat the fish with the breadcrumbs.
  10. Do the same process to all the boiled fishes.
  11. Heat the oil in a deep fry pan and fry the fishes under medium flame until it turns to golden color.
  12. Serve and enjoy this Sri Lankan style whole fish fry with bread crumbs recipe.
Notes
1. Add the right amount of water. Because you should wait until all the water disappears even the fishes boiled well.

2. With that, you can add a ½ teaspoon of ginger garlic paste. It gives you an extra taste and smell.
