Put the lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, green chillies, coriander

marinate in a cool place for one hour or overnight in the fridge. Bring to
room temperature before cooking.

Mix the flour with the salt and chilli powder. Dust each piece of fish
lightly with this, then dip in the beaten egg. Shallow fry a single layer
over a medium heat until brown on both sides (2-3 minutes on each side).
Drain on absorbent paper. Alternatively, deep fry the fish until golden
brown and drain on absorbent paper. Serve immediately.
