    Pomfret is perfectly fried and looks crisp on the outside. I never cooked it here but have eaten it at my cousin's place back in India.

    Thanks for sharing the recipe and sending it to my event.

    Dear akila
    How are you? I feel good reading your comment at my blog and you still remember my blog !!
    This is a great recipe and the spicing. I take note of using rice flower and suji…must try ..
    I am out of country since last October and on vacation now. The place where I work is deep in side sahara with a very weak net signal. So could not read any blog. I will be finally back to India in Jan and will be on blog full time again.
    have a nice week ahead
