If you\u2019re working with fresh fish, clean them thoroughly. You can skip this step by choosing fish from FreshToHome. Always pre-cleaned and pre-cut and has many cuts to choose from. For those using bombay duck dried fish, a quick soak in water for about 30 minutes will do wonders to rehydrate them. This step ensures that your dried fish is ready to absorb all the rich flavours coming its way.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Seasoning<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Spice it up with flavours<\/strong>\u2192<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a bowl, create a spice mix by combining turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garlic paste, coriander powder, and salt. This vibrant mixture will give your fish that signature taste and colour. Coat the fish generously with this spice mix, making sure every inch of fish is covered in the spicy goodness. Patience is the key here. Let the fish sit for about 20 minutes to absorb all the flavours.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3042\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-16-173112.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3042\" data-attachment-id=\"3042\" data-permalink=\"\/blog\/bombay-duck-fish-rava-fry\/screenshot-2024-07-16-173112\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.freshtohome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-16-173112.png?fit=467%2C310&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"467,310\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Get ready for a taste explosion with perfectly marinated bombil fish, ready to be fried to crispy perfection!\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Indulge in the irresistible flavours of marinated bombil fish, soaked in a medley of aromatic spices.
