Dip the pieces of fish one after the other in the grated vegetables i.e bell peppers, onions and ginger. Coat well, make sure that the grated vegetables get into the fish.
Then coat the pieces of fish in the flour mixture and finally dip in the whisked eggs and fry in hot oil. Fry till golden brown in batches. Don't over crowd the pan. Flip and fry the other side.

Ingredients For Naan:
2 1/4 cups of flour
1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp milk or yogurt
1 tbsp oil
2 1/4 tsps yeast
1 or cup warm water
Method
Soak the yeast in warm water with sugar, stir well. Set aside in a warm place to proof.
Pour the flour in a bowl. Add the oil, mix and add the milk or yogurt. Mix well. Pour in the proofed yeast in the bowl of flour and mix. Knead to form a soft dough on a floured surface or board. Grease the bowl with some oil.
Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Keep in a warm place to proof for 30 minutes. It will double in size.
Gently punch the dough to deflate it. Knead again on a floured surface or board. Divide the dough into 5 or 6. Mould into balls. Sprinkle some flour on a board, roll the dough flat with a rolling pin. Dust the rolling pin with some flour to avoid sticking. Keep the flat naan bread on a floured tray or large board. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Heat a non stick pan. Brush it with some oil. Gently place the naan bread in the pan. Cook for a minute or till some brown bubbles appear on the bread. Then flip over and fry the other side. Repeat the process with the remaining naan bread. Cover with a clean cloth and set aside.
