Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons finely grated onion
• 3 teaspoons ground coriander
• 3/4 teaspoon ground red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 kg (approx. 2 lbs.) thin fish fillets (rehu, snapper, or halibut)
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (to be used during frying).

Combine onion, ground coriander, chili powder, black pepper, garlic, salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil to make a paste.

Liberally smear paste over fish fillets, refrigerate, covered for about an hour to marinade.

When ready to prepare, dip the fillets into the combination of cornmeal and flour.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until very hot. Place two pieces of fish at a time in oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown and cooked completely.
