Surmai Fry | Crispy fried Seer fish

The days when you want to resort to some quick recipes and yet want to put together a tasty delicious meal, Surmai fry with simple dal rice is the answer.  Surmai (Seer fish) is a fleshy fish with minimal bones. Surmai basically does not have a taste of its own but readily absorbs the flavour of the spices it is marinated in.  The marinade that you use takes the taste of the surmai to a different level altogether.
