(prHWY.com) February 19, 2013 - New Delhi, India -- Components
450 g/1 lb whitebait
15 g/1/2 oz flour
Salt 1 Pinch
Good shake cayenne pepper
Oil
Lemon /lime
Slices fennel or parsley sprigs
Directions
In the event the whitebait is frozen, it can be fried with no thawing, but in that case, it truly is not feasible to coat the little fish with flour.
Frozen whitebait may possibly also be defrosted.
Wash fresh or defrosted fish in cold water and dry nicely on absorbent paper.
Mix the flour with all the seasoning.
Place the fish in this seasoned flour and turn until evenly coated.
Heat the oil to 185°C/365°F, or check the temperature as described within the right hand column.
If you're using a deep fryer on the cooker or an electric fryer, decrease the basket into the oil to become hot.
This prevents the fish sticking to the wire mesh.
Add the fish and fry rapidly for two to three minutes.
You could possibly need to have to perform this in greater than one particular batch, so the fryer is not over filled.
Drain on absorbent paper, then tip on to a heated dish.
Garnish and serve as quickly as you possibly can soon after cooking.
