Chilly Fish




Chilly fish was an instant hit at home which I served with fried rice. This can be served as a starter too. It is definitely inspired by the Indo-Chinese version where the fish is deep fried and then added into a spicy chilly sauce. This is a quick and easy to make recipe. You can use any fish like King fish,Salmon,Grey sole or Cat fish.


Ingredients

To fry
Fish boneless- 1 lb
Soya sauce- 2 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
pepper powder-1/2 tsp
salt to taste
flour- 3 tsp
corn flour- 2 tsp
oil for frying


For the sauce
Soya sauce- 1 tsp
Dark soya sauce- 1/2 tsp
Oyster sauce- 1 tsp
Chilli sauce- 2 tsp
Stock or water - 1 cup
Corn starch- 1 tsp


Onion - 1 medium
Bell pepper -1 or a combination of different colors
Dry red chilly- 2
Garlic- 3 pods 
Ginger- 1 inch thick
Chopped green onions- a hand full




Clean and cut fish into medium sized cubes and marinate it with soya sauce, chilly powder, pepper powder and a pinch of salt for 10 minutes. Make a thick batter with the flour and dip the fish pieces one by one and deep fry in hot oil and set aside.
Make a  bowl mix all ingredients listed under sauce except corn starch and keep ready.
Cut onions and peppers into small cubes. Thinly dice ginger and garlic. Heat oil in a pan and add garlic and red chilly and fry for a minute add in onion and garlic and saute for another minute. Now add bell pepper and green onions. Do not over cook. Add in the sauce and allow to boil. Slide in fish pieces and simmer. Finally mix corn starch in 3-4 tsp of water and allow the sauce to thicken a bit. Serve warm.

Hope you will all enjoy..
