Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
• Lime - 1, juiced

Steps

1. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. In a bowl, combine lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Marinate the fish in this mixture for 10 minutes.
3. In another bowl, mix the rice flour and cornstarch. Gradually add water to create a smooth batter.
