Fish Kebab | Meen Varuval

When it comes to sea food, I am always hooked on to fish kebabs. This is the first recipe of sea food which I learnt from my Mom. I got trained by watching my mom preparing this recipe. 

This recipe requires marination. Also, my mom make batter from fine sooji (chiroti rava) that add lot of crunchiness to this kebabs. I have modified my mom's recipe with my sister's recipe where she prepares green masala for marination. I have used only green ingredients for marination like green chilies and coriander.
