Mackerel Bangda fry noorsrecipes

Yummy! Mackerel or Bangda fry is one of our favourites. This is one of Mum’s simplest and delicious fish dishes. And what’s more it’s easy peasy 🙂

You can have it with hot phulkas,dal or steamed rice. We’re sure it will stay with you forever.

Ingredients:

  • Mackerel/ Bangda – 4 pieces
  • Red chilli powder – 4  tsp
  • Salt – 2 tsp or as per taste
  • Vinegar – enough to mix the red chilli powder and salt
  • Oil to shallow fry

Method;

  • I buy Mackerel which is completely cleaned and head cut off. Wash them thoroughly.
  • Make deep slits on both sides of the fish. This helps in coating the marinade well into the fish.
  • Mix the salt and red chili powder with enough vinegar to make a paste.
  • Do not add water.
  • Apply the paste to the  Mackerel and allow to marinate for at least an hour .
  • Heat oil in a frying pan and shallow fry the mackerel on both sides until cooked and golden brown  about 10 minutes each on medium flame on both sides.
  • Serve hot with some stir fried veggies or rice.

Note: This is the simplest masala. If you want to, you can add ginger garlic paste, coriander powder , cumin powder, pepper powder as per your taste to the marinade.
