I come from New Delhi. Delhi is not close to water or any big river. The Yamuna River which flows through Delhi is now a days not more than a big sewage. That is why we do not have any fish eating culture in Delhi and we get very less variety of fishes in Delhi. But we do get a fish called Rohu. It is fresh water fish and is grown around Delhi in small ponds. This fish is from carp family and if you cannot get Rohu then you can use other fish of the carp family. Always use rice flour in the batter otherwise the fish won’t come out crispy.
