Ingredients
  • Tilapia fish fillet – 5 (Feel free to use any other firm fish fillet)
  • All-purpose flour – 1 cup
  • Milk – ½ cup
  • Water - ½ cup
  • Baking powder – 2 tbsp
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying (Use any flavorless oil like sunflower or canola)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Cut the tilapia fillets into 2 inch pieces. Season them with salt on both sides. You can add a dash of paprika too for that kick of spiciness!
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl to mix everything evenly.
  3. Now add milk and water to the bowl and whisk them until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be of coating consistency so that it adheres to the fish cubes.
  4. Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep frying pan for deep frying the fish cubes on medium heat.
  5. Take one piece of fish at a time and dip it into the batter.
  6. Take it out making sure that both sides are coated generously and then tip into the hot oil. Do not over-crowd the frying pan. Fry them on medium heat until golden brown on both sides. This would take 1 to 2 minutes for each side depending on the heat level.
  7. Take the fried fish out using a slotted spoon and lay on an absorbent paper towel to soak excess oil.
  8. Serve those scrumptious crispy fried fish hot with some tartar sauce. Enjoy!
