Spicy Battered Fish

"This battered fish is healthy, crispy & rich in omega-3, its one of those dishes you can't say no because its simply delish. Here I've used yellow fin tuna steaks, but you can use virtually any fish steak with this batter. This is a special spicy batter & when you frying make sure to set the heat to low medium level as it tend to get brown very quickly. Just follow easy few steps & you'll be just fine."
