Ingredients needed to make Air Fryer Andhra Fish – Tamarind Fish Air Fryer –
Fish filet (I used Tilapia with skin), you can use any white fish, onion, garlic cloves, curry leaves, red chili powder, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, tamarind paste, garam masala, ginger garlic paste.
How do I make this recipe?
First in a blender grind the onions, curry leaves, garlic cloves, red chili powder, ground coriander, salt, pepper, tamarind paste, garam masala, ginger garlic paste. Process until completely smooth.
Second, rinse the fish fillet under cold, running water. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them on a cutting board. Make a few slits and chop them to 4 to 5 inch pieces. Rub the marinade on the fish really well and let it sit for 30 minutes to overnight in a refrigerator covered. I normally keep the marinade on for 30 minutes.
Also, I line my Air fryer basket with aluminum foil. Poke holes in the aluminum foil, so the air circulates easily. Further, when you are ready to cook, grease the aluminum foil in the Air Fryer basket with oil or cooking spray.
Make sure to grease well or else the fish will get stuck and break. I used fish with skin so that worked great.
Air Fry at 400 Fahrenheit or 200 Celsius for 15-18 minutes, flip them over at 10 minute mark. Don’t overcoat the basket with the fish filet. Furthermore, every air fryer is different so check after the 15-minute mark. You can increase or decrease the time as per your liking.
Can I save this in the fridge?
Most fried or air fried food is best served right away since it tends to dry out. However, you can reheat the fish in the air fryer on 400℉/200℃ for 5-10 minutes.
