Fried Fish Chillies and Basil
Plaa Nin Laad Prik Bai Horapa-ปลานิลราดพริกใบโหระพา
Description
This is a recipe that I devised myself and I think that the fresh taste of the sweet basil combined with the fried fish is amazing. If you do not want to use a whole fish or do not want to deep fry the fish then you can use fish fillets pan-fried in a little oil or grilled.
