Goan Crispy Fish Fry

People in Goan state are mainly depend on rice and fish for their staple food.

As you all know Goa is such a beautiful coastal state of India. And is very  famous for all kind of sea food.  Coming to the recipe fish fry is very common recipe in every home but one specialty of Goan fish fry is that fine variety of semolina is used while frying. That is after rubbing the fish in the dry spices, thin coat of semolina is applied and then shallow fried till crisp. Adding semolina makes the fry more flavorful and crispy.  So I always prefer to use semolina while frying any type of fish…..
