Note

The batter can be made up to 1 day in advance and kept refrigerated. Make sure you stir it well before using as it may thicken upon standing.

Ensure the oil is sufficiently hot before adding the fish to achieve a crisp exterior without absorbing too much oil.

Adjust the amount of green chilies in the dip according to your preferred heat level.
