You can fry 4-5 slices at a time.
Serve hot as a side dish with rice and curry or as appetizer. (you can apply the same masala to any fish)
(Usually this paste is prepared by grinding the red chillies along with salt and asafoetida which you can store it for a month in refrigerator in an air tight container. You can apply this masala to potatoes or sweet potatoes and fry it the same way as you fry the fish).
