Not eating seafood for two months can be quite discerning for Pisceans. So the most sensible thing to do is to eat as much seafood as one can before the 'ban' begins!
Eating fish can also be quite challenging; I wanted to avoid that undetectable piece of fish bone surreptitiously choking my throat and ruining the pleasure of the eating experience.
Rawas fish has less bones and more flesh. Its more convenient than other fishes too. (Rohu has 'Y' shaped bones that can be a pain)
Clean and boil the pieces in water with some crushed garlic and salt for 2-3 minutes. It will be easier to clean out the bones after that. Add a slice of bread for binding. Some more salt to taste, black pepper powder, some more garlic, lots of lemon juice and chopped spring onion. Shape like aloo patties.
Traditionally, fish is fried with a coating of semolina, gram flour or rice flour. But try this.......
Buy some ready made Idli Mix (the wet one). Coat the fish patties with lots and lots of idli mix and deep fry in hot oil. You get a different and tasty texture.
Serve with tartare sauce. I'm sure it would taste good with hot and sweet chilly sauce as well.
