Cold milk 1 cup
Eggs 3
Salt as per taste

Method:

On a wide tray, spread your corn meal. To this add salt, pepper and chili powder. Mix them well.

In a separate bowl add milk and eggs. Beat them until they are foamy. Dip the fish in this for few minutes.

Heat up the oil in a shallow pan. Adjust your stove to maintain uniform heat.
