Vanjaram Vepudu ~ Simple Fish Roast
Living along the sea coast has its advantages. One of them being regular availability of freshly caught sea food, especially fish. Today I bought Vanjaram (spotted seer fish) and prepared a simple roast with minimal spices. Nehal and Satish relish it and so do I. There are few things I love more than a nicely roasted fish, hot off the pan.

About This Recipe
Living along the sea coast has its advantages. One of them being regular availability of freshly caught sea food, especially fish. Today I bought Vanjaram (spotted seer fish) and prepared a simple roast with minimal spices. Nehal and Satish relish it and so do I. 🙂 There are few things I love more than a nicely roasted fish, hot off the pan.
You can explore with different spices but go slow on the amount of spices you’d add to the marinade. You wouldn’t want the spices to overpower the flavor of fish. I have avoided garam masala but a pinch can be added. Do not omit lemon since its the key to the bright flavor of fish roast.
