Instructions

  1. In the marinating bowl, wash the fish and remove the scales if present.
  2. In the marinating bowl, combine the cumin, ground coriander, salt, sweet paprika, white pepper, garlic, and lemon juice.
  3. In the marinating bowl, make shallow slashes in the fish if it is large, so the marinade can penetrate.
  4. In the marinating bowl, coat the fish with the marinade and leave for 2 hours, or 5 to 6 hours at most according to the chef's instructions, noting that the lemon may make the fish mushy if left too long.
  5. In a food processor, blend the tahini with the water, salt, garlic, and lemon juice to make the tahini sauce.
  6. In the sauce bowl, add the parsley to the tahini sauce and stir, then refrigerate the sauce.
  7. In the water bowl, mix the water with the egg, vinegar, salt, and white pepper until a light foam forms.
  8. In the flour bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the ground coriander, cumin, salt, white pepper, and breadcrumbs.
  9. In the flour bowl, add 4 to 5 spoonfuls of the egg water to the flour mixture to create clumps and a rough texture.
  10. In the frying pan, heat the frying oil until suitable; if a piece of flour dropped into the oil begins to rise slowly and then quickly, the oil is ready.
  11. In the flour bowl, coat a piece of fish with flour.
  12. In the water bowl, dip the piece of fish in the water for a few seconds.
  13. In the flour bowl, coat the piece of fish with flour again, pressing it several times until it is well covered on all sides.
  14. In the frying pan, turn the piece of fish over and shake it slightly to remove excess flour.
  15. In the frying pan, place the piece of fish in the hot oil and do not add anything else with it so that the oil does not cool.
  16. In the frying pan, fry the fish until the bubbles stop and the fish rises to the surface of the oil on its own.
  17. In the frying pan, remove the fried fish and serve it hot with tahini sauce.
