Fish Fingers




Fish fingers is great as an appetizer for parties. Any type of fish fillets can be used for this recipe
( boneless and skinless). Here i have used talapia fish fillets. It is very simple and easy recipe. You can increase or reduce spices as per your taste. I made a little twist to the original fish fingers that you find in restaurants served with tartar sauce. This one also tastes good and has a wonderful flavor.

Ingredients

Fish Fillet- 250 grams

Ginger-1 inch

Garlic-4-5 cloves

Green Chilly- 2

Pepper powder- 1/2 tsp

Chilly powder - 1/2 tsp

Garlic salt ( optional)- 1/3 tsp

Egg white - 2

lemon juice- 1/2 lemon

bread crumbs- 3/4 cup (plain or seasoned)

Parmesan Cheese- 1/2 tsp ( optional)

Curry leaves- a little

Salt to taste

Oil for frying



Clean fish fillets and cut it into thin horizontal strips and keep it aside. make a fine paste of ginger, garlic, green chilli, chilli powder, pepper power, curry leaves and lemon juice and marinate the fish for about an hour. Fish should be well coated and placed in refrigerator.

Mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Beat two egg whites and dip the fish and then coat with bread crumb mixture. Shallow fry the fish in medium heat till golden brown. Serve warm with tomato ketchup or tartar sauce.

Try this..

Hope you will all enjoy!!!

Meat Ball Curry/Kofta Curry

Meat Ball Curry/Kofta Curry
Today's recipe is a delicious meat ball/ kofta curry which goes well with rice, pulao or naan. If you want to try something different for dinner try this kofta curry. This is a great dish to serve when you have friends over for dinner. Kofta curry is definitely worth a try-juicy and tender meat balls are cooked in a  rich tangy mildly spiced tomato based gravy enriched with aromatic spices.

The first time I tried the kofta curry was in Delhi and it was creamy  rich curry with lots of fresh cream and the meat balls were cooked over charcoal for a smoky flavor. So if you want that authentic flavor try barbecuing the meatballs before adding to the gravy. I wanted to try my own version of kofta curry and added cashew nut paste instead of cream and my family enjoyed for dinner with vegetable pulao and naan .For a richer, creamier texture you can also add cream. You can use minced mutton of beef or even try a vegetarian version of this curry with mashed pota…
