Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, marinate the fish fillets with turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, combine besan, rice flour, cumin powder, a pinch of salt, and enough water to make a smooth, thick batter.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each marinated fish fillet in the batter and shallow fry until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Butter one side of each bread slice. Spread green chutney on the other side of 4 slices.

  5. 5

    Layer fried fish fillet, onion, tomato, and cucumber slices on the chutney side. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.

  6. 6

    Lightly grill or toast the assembled sandwiches until golden and crisp. Cut in half and serve hot.
