Fried Fish with Coriander/Cilantro Sauce

More recipes like:

This is one of my favourite masalas. It is fresh coriander based and it is very simple and quick to make. But the result is this aromatic, slightly tangy, fresh, simply delicious fish fry. My mouth is watering while just describing it to you. Adjust amount of green chilies according to your tolerance for spiciness and you can use either white vinegar or lime/lemon juice for sourness. I fried rawas this time, but any white fish will do. Serve it with either fresh salad or rice, as a starter or part of the main course.
