Kane (Lady Fish) Masala Fry - Mangalore style

Lady fish, popularly known as "Kane" in the coastal belt of Karnataka, is one of the tastiest fish in that belt.
While driving to Goa on the Konkan coast, we always stop by in Kundapur in of the sea food joints, and the "Kane masala fry" which I have eaten there is something out of this world.
After several rounds of eating Kane , I somehow managed to get as close as I could to the most famous fish fry recipe in the region -- "Kane Masala fry "
