Ingredients:
1 whole medium snapper, cut into cutlets
1 tbsp ground turmeric
Salt, to taste
Vegeta (or vegeta seasoning substitute), to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
Method:
Rinse the fish in some water, and drain, but do not pat dry. The residual moisture will help the seasoning to stick to the fish. In a large bowl, toss the fish in the turmeric, and season well with salt and Vegeta.
Fill a large deep frypan with about 1.5cm of oil. Heat over medium-high heat, before frying the fish for 4-5 minutes before flipping it and frying it for another 4-5 minutes. (You might have to do this in batches).
Repeat this process again, so the fish is frying for about 8-10 minutes on each side in total. Remove from the heat and drain on a wire rack or paper towels for a few minutes.
