Chettinad Fish Fry is a mouthwatering dish made with marinated fish fillets that are coated in a spicy masala and shallow-fried until crispy. The masala is made with a blend of spices like red chili powder, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds, which give the fish a flavorful and aromatic coating. The fish is then fried until golden brown and served hot as an appetizer or as a side dish with rice or roti.
