Chilly fish was an instant hit at home which I served with fried rice. This can be served as a starter too. It is definitely inspired by the Indo-Chinese version where the fish is deep fried and then added into a spicy chilly sauce. This is a quick and easy to make recipe. You can use any fish like King fish,Salmon,Grey sole or Cat fish.
