Make sure the oil is on high heat for at least five mins then start dipping the fish and do not move the fish for two mins or else the masala’s will be separated or released, fry for another three to five mins as you do not want the fish to be over cooked.

Remove the deep fried fish and keep aside, soak it in a paper towel if required.
