Notes

If you are using frozen fish ,make sure you thaw the fish completely before marinating.
Don't leave the marination for long time , this will make the fish texture to  be hard.
Wait until the bottom of fish becomes crispy before flipping to other side.This helps to avoid the fish from breaking.
For kids ,who want less spicy fish , separate few fish in plate and add all the ingredients except chilli powder .Reduce the amount of chilli powder  .So the kid below 3 years can eat happily.
