   - Rub this spice mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
   - Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

2. **Prepare the Coating:**
   - In another bowl, mix besan, corn flour, salt, turmeric powder, and red chili powder.
   - Add a little water to make a thick batter or keep it dry for a crispy coating (your choice).

3. **Coat the Fish:**
   - Dip each marinated fish piece into the besan-corn flour mixture. Make sure it is evenly coated.

4. **Fry the Fish:**
   - Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
   - Once hot, carefully slide the coated fish pieces into the oil.
   - Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
   - Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

5. **Finish with Lemon:**
