It is no big secret that superstar Mohanlal is a great foodie who loves to cook amazing dishes too. After trying the French technique of flambé, the screen icon has posted another video of him making the perfect fish fry. Mohanlal marinates a fillet of barramundi with flavoursome local masala and deep-fries in hot oil. Interestingly, it was from his close friend Priyadarshan’s mother that Mohanlal picked up this special recipe of fried fish.
“Usually, whenever I eat a delicious dish at a home, I make sure to ask them about the recipe and ingredients. I get these recipes so that I could cook it for myself or someone else. Food is like that, right? You would enjoy the dish more when someone else is also eating it with happiness.” Mohanlal is heard saying in the video.
Here is the recipe of the special fish fry that Mohanlal prepares in the video.
