Muchli Masala (Indian Spicy Fried Fish) image

Quick, easy, delicious. I was looking for a low carb recipe that was somewhat out of the ordinary, and found this. Use fresh ginger, the powdered stuff is different entirely. Also, I thought sea salt worked better than table salt, it let more flavor shine through. Prep time includes marinate time.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The fish was dry and the masala was bland.
