To make the marinade, put the cumin and coriander seeds, dried red chilies, turmeric, and tamarind pulp into a mortar or blender, season with salt, and pound with a pestle or process to make a smooth paste.
Arrange the fish in a single layer in a large shallow dish and spread the paste evenly over. Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Heat enough oil for shallow-frying in a pan over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium.
Working in batches, add the fish together with the marinade and fry for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp. Turn the fish over and fry the other side for 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve hot with lime wedges.
