Fish fry ( Oriya style)

Most people of Odisha love fish. While there are numerous ways fish is cooked in the fish-loving Odia families, I have chosen a simple and widely adopted preparation . It is simple to make  and great to taste.

Add pudina (mint) leaves , add salt to taste ,saute till both onion and mint leaves are mixed well. Add the fried fish pieces and mix well.Add chat masala to taste , serve hot.
