Mix ginger-garlic paste, juice of one lemon and salt and marinate the fish in it for 20 min.
In a baking bowl, prepare egg, ajwain, chickpea flour and chili seasoning with water to a thick paste. Lift the fish out of the marinade and roll each fillet in the batter so that the fillets are well coated all around.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a thick bottom and fry the fish fillets in it until crispy.
