I have tasted this delicacy recently in a restaurant ( kebab shop) for Iftar it was so awesome next day searched for it and made it …it was yum..soft inside and crispy outside .So far Iftar is full of meat snacks and continents so far a change why don’t you all try this as I did…
The main ingredient that adds taste is use of ajwain and chaat masala…… It is also prepared as marinating the fish then prepare a batter and fry but I preferred it mixing all and marinating then fry the fish…
