Brilio.net - When you're bored with the same side dishes on the menu, it seems like catfish could be the right choice. Having a delicious taste, catfish is really suitable to be eaten with rice, vegetables and chili sauce as a complement.
Apart from that, catfish also has a lot of good benefits for body health. Reporting from webmd.com, catfish contains vitamin B12, selenium, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and much more. All these nutrients are very useful for maintaining immunity so that the body is protected from various diseases.
Catfish can be processed into many dishes. However, fried catfish is still a mainstay for most people. How to make fried catfish is also fairly easy. Unfortunately, quite a few people admit that they failed when making their own fried catfish at home. Yes, the fried catfish produced is actually curved and tastes bland.
So that the resulting fried catfish has a crunchy texture that lasts a long time, a number of people deliberately coat the catfish with flour mixture. When it's evenly distributed, just fry the catfish in hot cooking oil.
Even though the results are crispy and last a long time, unfortunately the used cooking oil is dirty. If this happens, the cooking oil can no longer be used.
To get around this, you can imitate YouTube user Dapur Jempol. In his video upload, this netizen shows every step in making fried catfish. Even without being coated in flour mixture, the fried catfish produced is marinated, remains straight and crispy for a long time.
Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Jempol Kitchen on Thursday (29/2), first grind 6 cloves of garlic, a piece of turmeric, a piece of galangal, salt and pepper. Once done, coat the entire surface of the catfish with ground spices.
"Give a little water then stir the catfish and let it sit for 20 minutes so that it absorbs completely," he said.

While waiting, add a large amount of cooking oil to the pan. Turn on the stove and heat the cooking oil.
Once hot, add the catfish one by one into the cooking oil. Do this slowly, so that the catfish remains straight when placed in the hot cooking oil.

You don't need to turn it too often, wait for the catfish to dry and turn brown. If so, just turn the catfish one by one.
