Fish Coconut Fry

Fish Coconut Fry

This is a simple and easy fish fry recipe which you can do with any fish fillet.If you are tried of the usual fish fry try adding in fried onions and roasted coconut. It adds a unique flavor and taste which is pleasing to the palette. You can try different versions like adding coconut paste to the marinade and fry/bake the fish. Pairs with plain rice or fried rice.

Ingredients

Fish fillet- 3
( I used tilapia fillet)

1) To marinate the fish
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Pepper powder- 1/3 tsp
Chilly powder- 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste- 1 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice- 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Coconut oil for frying

Onion sliced- 1 medium
Green chilly -1 
sliced ginger- 1 tsp
Coconut shredded- 3 tsp
Fennel powder- 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves- a little

Clean and cut fish into small pieces. Mix all ingredients listed under to marinate the fish into a paste and apply over the fish pieces and set aside for ten minutes. Fry the fish till it is done and drain the excess oil and keep aside. In the pan add two tsps of oil(use the same oil used to fry fish drain off the excess oil) add onions, sliced ginger and green chilly and saute till changes color. Add coconut and continue to fry till onions and coconut turns golden brown. Add fennel powder, a pinch of chilly powder and coriander leaves. Add the fried fish and gently toss till all the fish is coated with the masala. Serve with rice.

Try this..

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference. Ingredients For the Rice Basmathi Rice- 3 cups Salt to taste Cloves- 5 Cinnamon 1 inch tick Cardamon- 3 Ghee- 1 tsp Rose water- 2 tsp Water- 6 cups For the masala Chicken- 2 lb Onions thinly sliced- 6-7 medium Tomatoes- 4 medium Ginger - 2 inch thick peice Garlic- 1...

Kerala Chicken Curry/Home Style Chicken Curry

Kerala Chicken Curry Spicy chicken curry is a great accompaniment with rice, appam, or chapati. This chicken curry is an old comfort food recipe, simple and straight forward and you will never go wrong with this. It is a simple, easy chicken curry but tastes delicious. The flavor of earthy spices, onion tomato- masala, and coconut milk all melding into one another, to make rich and aromatic chicken curry. This home-style chicken was the first chicken curry that mom taught me. My mom is my food hero, and sometimes she got this wildly experimenting streak which drives my dad crazy, but I enjoy it the most. So let me call this home style, standardized regular curry, which she makes every Sunday. Now when I’m feeling extra nostalgic for homey taste, I make this chicken curry.  It goes well with almost anything-naans, chapatis, ghee rice, fried rice, or with freshly baked bread.   Coconut milk adds flavor and a touch of sweetness to the curry.
