Crunchy Fish in Garden Grove
Amritsari fish, the pride of Punjab's street kitchens: white fish in a gram-flour batter sharpened with ajwain (carom seed) and spices, fried until the crust shatters audibly. Served with lemon and mint chutney. Punjab is landlocked; Amritsar made fried fish famous anyway, and this plate is why — tangy, crackling, gone in minutes.
What's In It
- white fish
- gram flour (besan) batter
- ajwain (carom seed)
- spices
- lemon
- mint chutney
Pairs Well With
Ace Pineapple Cider or a mango lassi; chilli naan alongside if the table wants to escalate.
Good to Know
Seafood; the besan batter is gluten-free. Fried strictly to order — the crunch has a five-minute half-life, eat accordingly. The ajwain (carom seed) in the batter is the signature — a thyme-adjacent sharpness that marks real Amritsari fish apart from generic fried fish everywhere.
