Recipe Instructions
01
Marinate the Fish

Rub the fish well with lemon juice, salt, red chilli powder, pepper, and garlic. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

02
Soak the Red Chillies

Soak the whole red chillies in water for 10–15 minutes, or until they become soft.

03
Prepare the Spice Paste

Drain the soaked chillies and grind them with the remaining ingredients to make a smooth, fine paste.

04
Cook the Masala

Heat oil in a pan and add the prepared paste. Cook on medium heat until it thickens enough to coat the fish, then remove from the heat.

05
Coat the Fish

Evenly coat each fish piece with the prepared masala paste.

06
Air Fry and Serve

Preheat the Oxy Fryer for 5 minutes. Arrange the fish in the fry basket and cook at 180°C for 20–25 minutes. Garnish with shredded lettuce and capsicum, and serve hot with a sour dip or any dip of your choice.
