Chilli Cashew Fish Fry

It is a great fish fry. I have added homemade masalas. In this dish, fish has deep fried and tossed in a spicy masala.

I just added some of fried cashew nuts. It gives crunchier to this dish. I used some sauces that give the unique taste to this dish. 

This goes well with steamed rice/ variety rice/ biryani/ fried rice…
