Fillet Ikan Dori Goreng Rangup | Crispy Fried Dory Fish Fillet
My Hubby and I love to enjoy dishes cooked with dory fish fillet.
We've tried making dory fish fillet katsu before, to be eaten with my homemade Japanese curry, which I've posted the recipe previously.
Check out the recipe of my homemade version of Japanese curry here :

When I was on diet, our favorite way of cooking the fish fillet was to grilled those lightly seasoned fillets and then eaten with caramelized Holland onion, fried with olive oil and boiled potatoes, carrot and broccoli.
It was a simple yet so yummy dish we inspired from watching a TV programmed (I forgot the name) a few years back.
The dish is actually made with cod fish, but we used dory fish fillet instead.
Cod fish has stronger flavor compared to the dory fish fillet, so you'll need to season the fish with some spices to make it more flavorful.
These fried dory fish fillet, made without egg and milk were a total hit in my home!
I seasoned the fish fillet with chopped curry leaves, pepper, garlic and salt.
The fillets were cut into smaller pieces and then marinated for at least 30 minutes with the marinade batter.
Since I was not using milk in the batter, I used a mixture of corn flour and all purpose flour to make the batter.
The batter shouldn't be too thick or runny, so you might want to adjust it's consistency when adding the cold water.
I'm used to use cold water to make the batter each time I'm making fried fish fillet.
Cold water is said to make the fried fish fillet more crispy.
So, don't think too much and just follow the advice from the culinary experts!

We loved the hint of curry flavor in our fried dory fish fillet.
Adding curry powder gives the dish a new twist and make it more delightful with refreshing aroma.
If you like intense curry flavor into your fried dory fish fillet, you can add curry powder into the marinade mixture as well.
1 tablespoon added into the marinade batter is sufficient for this recipe.
We enjoyed our fried fillet with mayonnaise sprinkled with some chopped curry leaves.
If you like spicy, enjoy your fried fish fillet with chili sauce of Thai sauce.
The fried fish fillets are the crispiest when they're still hot, like crispy fried chicken and French fries.
Place the fried fish fillet in a well ventilated container and line the container with kitchen or baking papers to absorb excess oil when they're still warm.
This is important to maintain the crispiness of the fried fillet for a few hours before they turn soft.
So, if you're ready, let's get the nitty-gritty of the recipe.
Happy cooking!

METHODS
Dory Fish Marinade :
Cleanly washed dory fish fillet and pat dried. Cut into your desired size.
In a large bowl, combine chopped garlic, chopped curry leaves, corn flour, all purpose flour, salt and coarse black pepper powder. Mix well.
Add in cold water into dry mixture gradually while stirring. Adjust water amount so that the batter is not too thick or thin.
Add in dory fish fillet pieces and mix to ensure the fillet pieces are completely soaked in the marinade mixture.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap and marinade for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge.
Coating Mixture :
While waiting for the marinade to be ready, prepare the coating mixture.
In a shallow bowl or a large plate, combine all the ingredients and whisk well. Set aside for later use.
COATING & FRYING THE DORY FISH FILLET PIECES
After 30 minutes or 1 hour (I marinated my fillet pieces for 30 minutes), remove from the fridge and give it a quick mix.
Take one piece of the fillet with a tong or chopstick and coat with coating mixture. Place coated fillet on a plate or tray. The fillet pieces can be stacked. Repeat for the rest of the fillet pieces.
After that, heat a large amount of cooking oil in a frying pan.
While waiting for the oil to be hot enough, take one coated fillet pieces and dip into marinade mixture. and coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat until finish. (To make coating process easier, place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl or a plate). Repeat for the rest of the fillet pieces.
Fry braided fillet pieces once the oil is hot enough over medium heat until golden. Do not overcrowd the pan so that flipping process will be easier. Flip to cook on the other side after 1 to 2 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Once the pieces are golden brown on all sides, place fried fillet pieces in a colander or kitchen papers to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce! Enjoy!
