Crispy Fried Halwa/Black Pomfret.

Weather in Bombay is no more predictable It rains in winter , unbearable heat summers and what not..Sudden changes in weather these days..It drizzled in the morning yday & it was so cold even in the afternoons which is quite rare here .I was craving for something hot & crispy to go along with simple Dal & Rice .I had already fried some chicken the other day & wanted something in fish .I had some Halva fish and Mackerel  in the fridge but I didn't want to grind the vindaloo masala to stuff the mackerel so decided to fry them  out since I seldom eat fish from the curry .
Made this hot crispy fried fish & relished with piping hot Dal and rice .It was yumm .The fish was well coated with  freshly ground green masala then rolled in rava/semolina and rice flour & fried till crisp.The curry leaves added a nice flavour to this fish ..
