We get a type of fish in Bombay called Mandeli. These are small fish- fried whole- and chomped down by the plateful with ice-cold beer. Really missed it here in Canada till I discovered Ocean smelts. Thanks to the lady at the fish counter at my grocery store for introducing me to this fish.
You can buy the smelts all cleaned at the fish counter. Just wash them and check that all the scales are off when you bring them home.
6 ocean smelts
2 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp tamarind pulp
1/2 tsp turmeric
3/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
Oil for shallow frying
rice flour for breading the fish
Clean the fish if needed and marinate in ginger-garlic paste, salt, turmeric, chili powder and salt for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a frying pan, dredge the fish in rice flour and fry till crisp. This is a small fish, takes couple of minutes to fry each fish.
Drain on a paper towel and serve with an ice cold beer :)
