Batter fried fish, also known as fish pakoras, is an easy recipe to follow. The dish you end up with surpasses the effort you have to put in.

The batter fried fish is traditionally made with Singara fish also called catfish in English. But if it is unavailable where you live, you may choose to use cod, trout, tilapia or salmon. Any fresh water fish without too many bones will be a safe bet. Use fresh fish for the best result; however, frozen or canned fish can be used too. Just make sure that you squeeze out the juices completely.
The taste of the batter fried fish lies in the marination. The use of carom seeds and chickpea flour makes this style of batter fried fish unique. Another interesting ingredient is the club soda. Club soda is used to make the fish crispy. Some people use beer for the same. Plain water can be used too, but it will yeild less crispy fish.
Let's now head straight to the recipe of the Amritsari batter fried fish.

Singara fish/catfish - 500 grams
Chickpea flour/besan - 5 tbsp
