When quizzed about the secret of the success of the dish, Makhan Singh, the owner of the Dhaba said, "We purchase fresh fish from the market. Our preference has always been to buy good quality fish. We then deep-freeze the fish for almost a day to use it the next day. It's an art which we learnt from our elders."
The preparation involves frying the fish in gram flour (Besan) and egg white paste, with dry, bread crumbs, making it break easily in the mouth. The good quality of the fish and the proper ingredients flavor the dish.
Dr. Sodhi, a resident of Amritsar, said: "I travelled to England and experienced a variety of sea food. But I didn't find the fish quite as tasty as the fish in Amritsar."
"I travelled to other parts of the state, but never have I found that taste which is so unique of Amritsar. The Bengalis love fish. And when some of my Bengali relatives sampled the Amritsari fish, they could not believe it could be so tasty," said another customer at the restaurant.
