-
Mix the salt, cayenne,cumin, Zaatar, sumac (if using), salt and besan in a bowl.
-
Add the water and make a batter. It should be thick enough to coat the fish
-
Slice the fish in fingers and dip it in the batter and coat each piece well
-
Heat oil to about 375* F . If the temperature is hotter, the fish will not cook through and if it is lesser than 350* it will absorb a LOT of oil
-
Fry the fish fingers in the oil - a few at a time. The frying will be done in one or two batches based on how big a pan you use. Smaller pan means lesser oil wasted after frying, but more batches of frying. which works for me.
