(Pomfret Fry / Paplet Fry recipe/ Malvani rava pomfret fry)
Pomfret fish fry or malvani rava pomfret fry is commonly cooked recipe in Maharashtra. Pomfret is not just well known in Maharashtra, but a very common fish used throughout world in various cuisines. There are number of recipes made using this delicious white skin pomfret fish. It is also known as 'Silver fish' belonging to the species of butterfish, prominently found in coastal waters off the Southeast Asia, South Asia and Middle East. In Maharashtra, it is locally called as 'Paplet'.
Pomfret is one of the mostly preferred over other fishes due to its flavorful taste. The fish has a very unique taste with mouth-melting meat. It is very easily available in local market. The price of fish in Maharashtra ranges between 100 - 1000INR depending on the size of fish. Go for fresh fish, to enjoy the delicious taste of it. To check whether the fish is fresh or not, see the appearance of fish, check the gills for bright red colour and touch the fish. If the fish is very soft at touch, gills are not bright red and appearance is very dull, it means that the fish is not fresh.
In this recipe, white pomfret fish was used. It was coat with a mixture of semolina (rava) and rice flour for giving crispness to the fish. If you re making this recipe for adults then add chilli powder to the mixture. whereas, if you wish to cook it for your kids then do not add chilli powder or add just a dash of it. Chilli powder in semolina and rice flour mixture gives a nice spicy flavour to it. Another tip I would like to give you is to make superficial cuts on the fish after thorough cleaning. The cuts made on the fish helps the marinating mixture (marination masala) to penetrate in the fish tissues add more flavour to it.
