Note

Ensure the carrots are finely grated to help them adhere better to the fish and cook evenly.

Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil, for frying.

Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to maintain the oil temperature and ensure crispiness.

Adjust the amount of curry powder based on your preferred level of spice intensity.

This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed rice to balance the richness of the fried fish.
