To begin making the Maachli Jaisamandi recipe, firstly wash the fish fillet and cut into 8 equal pieces. Rub the pieces of fish with salt and rest them for 10 minutes.

Take a bowl and mix together the ingredients for batter properly including gram flour, turmeric powder, jeera powder, water.. Make sure that there are no lumps in it. 

Take a tall glass and beat well all the ingredients for gravy except oil and cumin seeds.

Prepare the green chutney by add coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies and lemon juice into a mixer. Grind until it forms a smooth paste. Add salt and check for taste. 

To make the fish sandwich, layer one fish piece with the green chutney, then close with the second one. Finish making with the rest. Dip the fillet in light batter.

Heat a heavy bottomed pan with oil. Dip the sandwiched fillets of fish in the batter and add them one by one. Shallow fry the fish sandwiches for a minute and flip onto the other side. Fry the fish for another minute or 2 and take them off the flame and keep aside. 

In the same wok add some more oil on a low flame and add cumin seeds. Let the cumin seeds crackle. Add the gravy mixture into the wok. Let it cook until a few bubbles start to appear. Turn off the flame. 

Pour the gravy in a serving bowl and place the fried fish in it. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
