Apollo fish fry | How to make hyderabad apollo fish fry

By swasthi , on May 21, 2019, 19 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Apollo fish fry recipe is a closest match to the one that is served in most andhra restaurants I have visited. Similar to the fish manchurian recipe, but we do not need any sauces, artificial colors or ajinomotto, you can still prepare this apollo fish, just like the restaurant style one.

apollo fish

First time I had apollo fish fry in an Andhra restaurant in Bangalore and I totally adored it since then.The specialty of this dish being prepared with large fishes, boneless fillets are chosen and no garam masala and sauce is used for the preparation and yet does taste simply superb with no smell at all.

To make apollo fish fry, you can use any large fillets without bones, like toman or snapper or salmon.But deep frying salmon may not be a good idea,the nutrients would drain off to the oil.

Hi Mahek
I discard any deep fried oil. So I try to use minimum oil for deep frying and then discard it.

Thank you for the quick response, Swasthi!
Can I coat them with corn starch or maida? How much should I use in that case?
Regards!

I have already included corn flour and plain flour/maida in the recipe. Since you are not using egg, just skip them here . Make a thick batter of plain flour and corn flour in equal quantites along with chilli powder and little garam masala, Dip the fish pieces in batter and fry in oil. Hope this helps

Hi Swasthi!
Your recipes really are fantastic! I keep coming back for more 🙂 just 2 quick questions:
1. I find salmon a little “fishy” smelling and generally use tilapia, which more tender. Can I use that for this and your other fish recipes?
2. Can I skip egg coating here? What do I substitute egg with? Please do respond soon, if possible:)
Best Regards, Shamni

Hi Shamni
Thank you. Yes you can use tilapia or any kind of fish you like. But for this recipe, make sure you use a variety that has less bones. Preferably no bone. You can just skip the egg in this recipe, but it helps to keep the meat tender, juicy and soft. Hope this helps

If you want to replicate the restaurant style, then you have to deep fry.
but if you are health conscious like me, you can bake it. i have tried it
several times and has turned out good, but without adding egg.
check this recipe link on how i marinate and bake,
just substitute semolina with flour,
