Surmai Tali hui ( Seer Fish Fry)

-
Surmai or the seer fish is the tastiest of all the  sea fishes. The fish fry recipe which I am sharing is easy to prepare and is mildly flavored to bring out the delicate taste of the fish. I usually marinate the fish fillets with lemon juice, salt, ginger garlic paste and red chili powder overnight in the refrigerator. The fish fillets soak in the spices and turn out the tastiest this way.

Ingredients

 Surmai ( Also known as Anjal / Seer fish ) - 4 slices
Fresh Lemon juice - 2 tablespoon
Ginger garlic paste ( freshly ground) - 2 tsp
Red chili powder - 2-3 tsp
Salt to taste
Maida or corn flour - 1/ 2 cup
Oil - 3 tablespoon

 For Garnishing:
Onion rings
Sliced lemon

 Method

 1. Wash and dry the fish fillet
2. In a bowl mix the lemon juice, salt, red chili powder ( 2 tsp) and the ginger garlic paste. Add little water if paste is too thick.
3. Rub the mixture onto the fish fillets and marinate in a closed container or ziploc pouch preferably overnight. If unable to marinate overnight, you may refrigerate the fish fillet for an hour in the freezer.
4. While the fish is marinating, sieve the flour with red chili powder and salt. Spread the flour on a plate.
5. Heat a tawa or non stick pan
6. Remove the marinating fish fillet from the refrigerator and coat evenly with the dry flour.
7. Place the coated fish on the hot tawa and drizzle oil from the sides.
8. Cook evenly on each side until they appear golden in colour.
9. Serve hot with mint chutney, onion rings and sliced lemon.

Quick tip: Same recipe can be used for pomfret fry as well.

Ballar aur Murghi ka Korma

  Ballar ki phalli or Hyacinth beans ( Avarre Kallu in Kannada) is a much loved vegetable in the South. The winter brings in tons of fresh beans in the market and every kitchen in the neighbor hood is over zealously busy preparing the tastiest dishes with it. The beans are very versatile and bursting with flavor. They are added in vegetarian as well as with meat and chicken dishes. One of my favourite dish is the ballar aur murgi ka korma ( Chicken and bean Korma). The beans add a very subtle but very unique flavor to the curry and coupled with the spicy curried chicken, the taste is out of this world.     Ingredients   Chicken - 500 gms, Curry cut Ballar ki Phalli ( Shelled) - 1 cup Coconut paste - 1/2 cup Onions - 2 large, ground into a fine paste with 4-5 cloves and 2 cardamom pods                1 small onion -  finely Sliced Tomato - 2-3 medium ...

Bhaji ka Chaar

Bhaji ka char is a tangy, spicy curry made from seasonal greens and dals. It is a very rustic recipe commonly prepared in Muslim households in Mysore and surrounding areas. For me this is a very special dish as this is simple, delicious and highly nutritious. In our house the expert in making bhaji ka char is my aunt, Afza aunty. Come monsoon or winter, whenever there was a sharp chill in the weather my request to Afza aunty was “ Aaj bhaji ka char banao”. My aunty used to happily oblige as this is her favourite too. The recipe is totally borrowed from her and reproduced below.Thank you Afza aunty for the recipe and the beautiful memories. Before we get to the actual details, there are few points to note. The bhaji or greens used in the char are either chaulai or chudi ki bhaji or dant  ( all called as amaranth leaves in English) or munge ki bhaji ( moringa leaves) or you can mix chaulai, dant and dill leaves ( Sui ki bhaji) in equal proportions. Palak, methi or other green...
