Step 1
Pat the 1 lb fish fillets dry and cut into 4 pieces. In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp chili powder, 0.5 tsp turmeric, and 0.5 tsp salt. Rub the spice mix all over the fish.
Step 2
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the 10 curry leaves and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Place the fish pieces in the skillet in a single layer. Cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the fish and cook until the other side is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3-4 minutes more. Serve hot with lemon wedges if desired.
