Based on the recipe for pangasius fillet in tomato batter in a frying pan, I decided to cook telapia. In addition, I replaced the tomato with ketchup (I used a little more of it - about two tablespoons). Otherwise, I did not deviate from the recipe. My batter was not very red, but when fried it became a beautiful bright color. The battered fish turned out very tender, juicy and aromatic. Served it with rice and fresh vegetables. Thanks for the delicious recipe, Zhemchuzhina!
