- ½ tsp pepper powder
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp garam masala powder
- ½ tsp jaggery/sugar

- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tsp oil

Instructions
- Clean the fish thoroughly and chop into bite-size pieces. Marinate with all the ingredients listed under marination for at least half an hour.
- Brush the wired base of the air fryer basket with oil. Spread the fish pieces in the basket and set the temperature to 180°C.
- Let the fish cook for 6 minutes. After 3 minutes, shake the air fryer basket or move the fish pieces, using a blunt knife or spoon. This releases the fish pieces from the base.
- If you do not have an air fryer, go ahead and deep fry or shallow fry the fish pieces. Alternately, you can even roast them with a little oil in a skillet.
- After 6 minutes, transfer the fish from the air fryer to a plate.
- Next, take a skillet and add oil to it. Once it gets heated up add the tempering items one by one. Fry for a second and add 2 tbsp of water. When it starts boiling, add the cooked fish pieces to it. Saute so that the fish pieces are fully coated with the tempering.
- Transfer to a serving dish and serve with lemon wedges and onion rings
