Pre-preparation or marinating the Fish: In a bowl add all the marinade ingredient and mix well to make a paste. Coat the fish pieces with this paste and marinate for at least an hour. The marinade has lemon juice and curd which will cure the fish to a certain extent hence don`t fry it too long else it might overcook and be rubbery in texture.
