Masala Fish Fry and Lovely Awards




Masala fish fry is a very tasty fish preparation. It has great aroma of poppy seeds, sesame seeds,coconut and curry leaves. This one is inspired from a TV show but I have brought certain changes to the original one . The recipe actually uses gram masalas, coriander powder and tamarind paste but I used green chilly, curry leaves and lemon juice and only a little of fennel seeds instead of garam masala. This came out very tasty and flavorful which my family enjoyed.


Ingredients
Fish - 1/2 lb
Poppy seeds- 2 tsp
Sesame seeds- 1 tsp
Coconut shredded- 1 tsp
Onion- 1 small
Ginger- 1 inch
Garlic- 4-5 pods
Green chilly- 3
Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric- 1/3 tsp
Pepper powder- 1/3 tsp
lemon juice- 1/2 lemon
fennel powder- 1/3 tsp
corn flour- 1 tsp
salt to taste
Curry leaves- 2 springs
Oil for frying


Cut and clean the fish and marinate it with chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
Dry roast poppy seeds till it attains a nice aroma and add sesame seeds and roast it also. Keep aside and let it cool. Chop onions and fry them till golden brown. In a blender  make a fine paste of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, coconut, fried onions with its oil, ginger, garlic, green chilly, curry leaves, pepper corns, and fennel seeds. Pour as little of water as possible. Now coat the marinate fish with this paste,lemon juice and corn flour. Pour little oil in a fry pan( just enough to grease it as there is already oil in the marinated paste) and fry in low flame. When one sides gets cooked and browned up flip to the other side. Serve warm. You can also sprinkle a bit of lemon juice just before serving.






Try this fish fry..hope you will enjoy.

  6. I have been to Kerala once Suja, To Kovalam. We were on one of the beach front hotels and Kovalam itself was breathtaking.
    This hotel also gave us a tour of the back waters (whole day). So while in the boat, the boatman took us to a small Island kind of a thing where a fisher woman fried fish for us for lunch. One of the best tasting fish in my life. The fish you posted here looks exactly like what she made all those years (well, 5 to be specific). Will surely try this at home...weekend most likely.

    Thank you for the award Suja. But i am not 100% sure when what you mean by collecting it. I don't know this concept of awards. What should i do now?

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada Uzhunnu vada or medu vada is a very common snack in south India and is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of hot piping tea.I like it as a snack but again cannot resist when it is served with idli,sambar and chutney as breakfast. One might wonder where does all the aroma come from? The  plain deep fried lentils is by itself flavorful because I make them often for  vada curry. But in uzhunnu vada the addition of pearl onions,ginger and curry leaves imparts a wonderful aroma that is irresistible.This is something I really missed when I came here to the US until I started making my home made version. Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Urad Dal/Black lentil skinless- 1 cup Rice flour- 2 tsp Pearl Onions- 4-5 Ginger finely chopped- 1 inch thick Curry leaves finely chopped- 1 spring Green chilly  finely chopped- 3 Whole black pepper- 5-6 salt to taste Oil- 2 cup to fry Wash and soak urad dal and rice for about 4-5 hours. Drain

Kerala Beef Vindaloo- Anglo-Indian Recipe

Kerala Beef Vindaloo Vindaloo is often synonymous with fiery, bold, pungent curries. It is one Indian curry that needs no introduction. It is lip-smacking delicious, tenderly cooked meat in a spicy gravy. It is almost pickle like with flavor of vinegar and ground mustard. But again, the perfect vindaloo curry strikes the right balance with chilies, aromatic spices, and vinegar- a perfect balance of acidity, spicy heat, and flavor of earthy spices. Authentic Goan Vindaloo is made with pork, but you can also use beef or mutton. Vindaloo may sound complicated, but it is an easy recipe. You can make a restaurant-style curry right in your kitchen. Today I am sharing two ways to cook this recipe. The  traditional slow-cooked stove top recipe  and  an Instant pot recipe . Recently I have been making this curry in Instant pot and it comes out perfect each time. Beef Vindaloo is a quintessential dish for Christmas feasts in Kerala. It is popular among Christians and the Anglo-I
