Najel maqli

Fried najel is a dish made from a type of fish known as najel (wild coral grouper), which is commonly found in the Red Sea, particularly along the coasts of countries like Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Egypt. The dish typically involves cleaning and seasoning the fish, often with a blend of spices that may include cumin, coriander, garlic, and lemon juice, which complement the fish's natural flavors. The seasoned fish is then coated in flour or a light batter and fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the inside remains tender and moist. It is often served with a side of rice, salad, or flatbread, and sometimes accompanied by sauces or dips like tahini or a spicy chili sauce.
