Experience our authentic Fish Amritsari, a signature seafood appetizer at Chef's Butter Chicken. Featuring fresh fish fillets marinated in a blend of spices and gram flour, then deep-fried to golden perfection for a crispy, flavorful treat. This dish showcases our commitment to fresh ingredients and traditional Indian cooking techniques.
Fish Amritsari is a beloved Punjabi dish that originated in the city of Amritsar and has become a popular seafood appetizer across India. At Chef's Butter Chicken, we prepare this dish with the freshest fish fillets, marinating them in a carefully crafted blend of spices including ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. The fish is then coated in a light batter made with gram flour (besan) and ajwain seeds.
What makes our Fish Amritsari special is the perfect balance of crispiness and tenderness. We deep-fry the fish at the right temperature to achieve that golden-brown exterior while keeping the fish moist and flaky on the inside. The gram flour batter creates a light, crispy coating that doesn't overpower the delicate flavor of the fish. We serve our Fish Amritsari with fresh mint chutney and onion salad, making it the perfect starter for any Indian meal or a delightful snack on its own.
