  4. Grind it together with the garlic cloves, ginger, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, turmeric powder, tamarind and salt to taste using very little water to get a thick paste.
  5. Add the oil, remaining after roasting the red chillies, as well as the rice flour to the marinade.
  6. Alternatively, instead of mixing in the rice flour, it can be used for dusting the fish before frying which prevents the spice paste from separating during frying.
