INGREDIENTS:
8 fish fillets (use sole or another white fleshed fish) 4 tablespoons vinegar juice of 2 lemons
salt to taste BATTER: 1-1/4 cups chickpea flour (besan) 1-1/4 cups white flour
1 teaspoon garlic puree 1 teaspoon white cumin seeds 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1-4 green hot peppers, chopped (to taste) 3 eggs
salt to taste vegetable oil, for deep-frying



1 Wash the fish fillets and marinate in the vinegar, lemon juice, and salt for 30 minutes.
2 Drain the fish, reserving the marinade. Make the batter by simply mixing all the batter ingredients together with the reserved marinade. By using no water, it will be crisper.
3 Dip the fish in the batter and half fry, until it starts to crisp. Remove from the oil, set aside fro a few minutes, then fry again until golden brown.
