Healthy Air fried Snapper fish gravy

Fried fish is tastier than boiled fish. Some omega-3 is lost during frying. Breading the fish makes it to absorb more fat. In air-frying, less fat is absorbed and less omega-3 is lost If we put the marinated fish in curry the marinades are washed into the gravy. Marinades are preserved if you marinate overnight.
Fish meat is soft. When we cook curry we use ladle to stir. Sometimes the fish pieces break or disintegrate. The fried fish is much firmer and will not break when we stir with a spoon or ladle. Today I am using snapper fish. You can use any kind of fish to make this type of curry.
