Questions people ask about Tawa Fish Fry
How long does Tawa Fish Fry take?
About 25 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. Most of that is active, so read the method through before you start rather than chopping as you go.
What is the one thing to get right in Tawa Fish Fry?
Press each piece into rice flour on both sides — this is what makes it crisp.
What can I use instead of fish in Tawa Fish Fry?
Use any firm white fish, or paneer for a vegetarian version. Avoid delicate fish in anything that needs stirring.
Can I make Tawa Fish Fry ahead of time?
Not really. This one relies on being crisp, and crisp does not survive the fridge. Prepare the components ahead if you like, but cook it just before eating.
Can I make Tawa Fish Fry vegetarian?
Yes. Replace the fish with king oyster mushrooms torn into chunks, or firm tofu pressed dry. Both want a hard sear first, and both go in at the very end, because neither needs more than a couple of minutes.
What do you serve with Tawa Fish Fry?
Roti or plain rice, with something sharp on the side: curd, pickle or sliced onion. It serves two as written. Double everything to feed four, but use a wider pan so the food still browns rather than steams.
