Preparing the fish
- Mix together all the dry ingredients-all purpose flour, cayenne pepper, red chilli powder (if adding), salt, garlic powder and crushed black pepper.
- Spread the flour mixture on a plate. Place the fish and coat the fish properly on one side. Now turn the fillet and coat the other side of the fillet. Do not shred the extra flour.
- Heat butter in the smaller frying pan. Place the fish on the heated pan and let it cook on medium high flame for 2 minutes. Flip it over and cook the other side as well. Cook one fillet at a time. Do not over cook as fish doesn't take very long to cook. Set aside.
Making the sauce
- Dissolve the chicken cube in the boiling water.
- In the larger size pan, add butter and saute chopped garlic until slightly brown.
- Pour the dissolved chicken cube in the pan. let it simmer for few minutes.
- Add the fish fillets and pour sauce over the fish with a spoon whilst in the pan. Place all the fillets at the same time. The sauce begins to thicken and wrap around the fish. Immediately remove from the pan and serve with salad, chips or rice
