Shallow Fry the Fish
Finish Cooking and Serve
For a milder version, use only Kashmiri chili powder. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of garam masala to the marinade.
For an even crispier crust, use a mix of rava and rice flour in a 3:1 ratio for the final coating.
This recipe works wonderfully with other firm-fleshed fish like Pomfret (Paplet), Seer Fish (Surmai), or even thick fillets of Tilapia or Cod.
For a lower-oil option, spray the coated fish with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-18 minutes or air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
King Mackerel is an oily fish packed with Omega-3s, which are essential for brain health, reducing inflammation, and supporting cardiovascular health.
Fish provides high-quality protein necessary for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and maintaining a healthy metabolism.
Spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic used in the marinade have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help strengthen the immune system.
A single serving (one piece, approx. 175g) of Anjal Tawa Fry contains approximately 350-400 calories. The exact count depends on the size of the fish steak and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
It can be part of a healthy diet in moderation. The King Mackerel (Anjal) is an excellent source of lean protein and heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. However, it is shallow-fried, which adds calories. To make it healthier, you can pan-sear it with minimal oil or try baking or air frying it.
It's traditionally served as an appetizer or a side dish with a simple Mangalorean meal of boiled rice, dal, and a vegetable stir-fry. It's also delicious on its own with a side of sliced onions, lemon wedges, and green chutney.
This usually happens if the fish was not patted completely dry before marinating, or if the oil was not hot enough when you placed the fish in the pan. Ensure the fish is dry and the oil is shimmering before you start frying.
Yes. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Lightly spray the coated fish with oil and air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. The texture will be slightly different but it's a great lower-oil alternative.
