Hi Nandhini, was busy with some other stuffs, Couldn’t respond to u on time. Try adding little All purpose Flour/ Corn flour( may be 1 tsp or so) if the coat doesn’t stick. Also keep it marinate for more than an hr to stick well. Hope this helps !!

Meen varuval with very little oil, that’s interesting!
adding some mustard is a nice idea too! (usually I don’t add it)!

I thought fish fry requires more oil; need to soak & fry for about 10 mins.. If it can be done in Non Stick pan with 3 spoons of oil, then I love that…..
I tried once, it came out well. Let me try this one.. you have some additional ingredients too…
BTW what kind of fish you buy…?? fully cleaned and packed one..??? Cos that has some chemical smell I think…

I buy Frozen Tilapia or Fresh one. Frozen fish should be cleaned with little curd and vineagar.
