Known for her easy-to-follow cooking tutorials, she demonstrates how to perfectly prepare hake fish, also known as panla, with a blend of simple yet flavorful ingredients.
The process begins with a thorough cleaning of the fish, using lemon juice to neutralize any fishy odour. Once cleaned, the fish is seasoned with a mix of curry powder, grated onions, shrimp seasoning, and a hint of chilli flakes for a spicy kick. After combining the seasonings, Joyful Cook recommends marinating the fish for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to fully penetrate—though longer marination is suggested for even more depth.
As the fish marinates, she prepares a spiced flour coating, ensuring the fried fish has a crisp, golden finish. Once fried to perfection, Joyful Cook encourages viewers to pair the dish with their favourite sides, suggesting garri and chilled water as the perfect complement.
