Fish Finger | Fish Finger with Indian Spices | Starter Recipe

Fish finger, one of the famous finger food among kids.It's so crispy on outside and very soft fish inside.In our home, i rarely make this, not because we dont like this,but we prefer to have tangy fish curry instead of fries.
Though i had fish finger in restaurant many times, in my kitchen, i tried out twice before.Last month i was very much tempted to try this fish finger because i had wonderful boneless tilapia fillet at that time and it turns out very delicious. So to post here, today i make this again and we enjoyed it throughly.After a hearty meal, i'm here with the post.

Add the fish in the hot oil.Let it fry till becomes golden brown,drain the oil and place it on tissue paper. Do the same for remaining fishes. Serve it with onions & lemon wedges .Tasty & crispy fish finger is ready.
Notes:
  • Usually i dont use the left over oil after frying the fish, so used little and fry one piece at a time. But if you're using more oil, add more fishes at a time for frying.
  • Tap it with fingers to remove the excess flour & bread crumbs on the fish before frying.
  • Curry leaves gives great flavor  to the dish.
