"Kane / Noglekana / Nogli / Lady Fish / Muddoshi Fish Fry" served with Tomato ~ Imli (Tamarind) Dip and Mint Mayo Dip .... A yummy delicious dish that is very famous in the southern parts of India that is relished extensively by deep / shallow frying ....
** Trim the fins, scrap the scales, slice off the head portion and trim the tail too, give a slit on the side of the stomach and then clean the kane / nogli in plenty of water. Keep the fish whole and do not cut them to pieces, though if they are too large you may cut them to two pieces. Pat the fish dry with a clean towel or absorbent tissue. Prepare these and keep them ready.
** Note : In Mumbai we get it all cleaned and trimmed. Just have to wash it in plenty of water. Please learn the proper cleaning technique from a person who knows the same well or you can watch fish vendor doing the same the first time and learn from watching keenly. Again in Mangalore they tear off the skin from the kane while in Mumbai they not. It is easy to remove just like the procedure for shark / mori but you have to be skilled and not tear apart the fish. I used to do so for many years initially after my marriage, but after my Mumbai frds. told me they do not do so, I have stopped. You may choose any method for the same.
** In a small bolw add 1tblsp of Chilly powder with salt, pinch of haldi powder, pinch of hing powder and ¼ tsp of tamarind paste or 1/2 tsp of Vinegar and mix well. Add water if necessary to make a very thick paste.
** Apply this to the prepared kane fish kept ready, see that the fish is evenly coated and there are no lumps whatsoever.
** Cover and keep it in the fridge for an hour or so. This helps the fish in absorbing the masala. Though you can keep the same outside too.
** Roll the fish on chiroti rava/rice flour/ chiroti rava + rice flour mixture evenly to get dusted by the same on all side. Heat oil on a shallow pan and deep fry or shallow fry on both sides till crisp and done. Place on absorbent paper for the excess oil to drain. Serve with salad / dips of your choice / Dal-Rice.
