Fish Manchurian


Fish Manchurian

Today's dish is a simple version of the  Indo Chinese recipe-Fish Manchurian.Fish Manchurian is a popular dish in Indian restaurants and sea food lovers who wish  a change in flavor and taste should definitely give this a try . It is a simple recipe,marinated fish is dipped in batter and deep fried and finally mixed with sauces.I used Cubanelle peppers a variety of sweet pepper in this recipe and it had a unique flavor. This is a dry version so it can be served as an appetizer/starter or as a side dish with fried rice.

Ingredients
To marinate
Fish- 1 1/2 lb
(I used King fish)
Pepper powder- 1/4 tsp
Ginger- garlic paste- 2 tsp

Chilly paste- 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice- a few drops

For the batter
Egg-1
Corn starch- 2 tbs
Flour- 1/3 cup
Pepper powder- a  pinch
salt- a pinch

To Saute
Onion - 1medium chopped
Cubanelle peppers- 1/2 cup
(or green chilly slit lengthwise 4-5)
Garlic- 3-4 pods
Soya sauce- 2 tbs
Dark soya sauce- a few drops
Chilly garlic sauce- 1 tsp
Rice Vinegar- 1 tsp
Tomato sauce- 2 tbs
sugar- a pinch
Chicken or vegetable stock- 1/3 cup
corn starch- 1/2 tsp
Oil to fry



Cut boneless fish into medium sized cubes. Marinate with pepper powder,lemon juice,chilly paste and ginger-garlic paste and keep aside for 10 minutes,
Mix together, corn starch, flour,a pinch of pepper powder, salt and egg and 1/3 cup of water to make a batter. Make a batter which is not thin or too thick.
Dip the fish in the batter and deep fry the fish in medium hot oil till it is golden brown. Drain on paper towels and  keep aside.
Heat a pan and add 2 -3 tsp of oil. When it is hot add minced garlic and saute for a minute,followed by cubed onions and pepper/chilly. Saute for two minutes. Add fried fish and saute. Mix sauces,sugar and vinegar in the chicken/vegetable stock along with corn starch and pour over the fish and mix well and allow this to come together and coat the fish. If you you want more gravy add little more of chicken stock. Serve as a appetizer/starter or with fried rice.

Try this
Hope you will all enjoy.

Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed Mushrooms Stuffed mushrooms is a quick appetizer or snack. It is a perfect addition to an appetizer tray for a get together. I have used a very simple stuffing but there are endless options both vegetarian and non vegetarian that can be used for the filling. Ingredients Mushrooms- 12 medium sized Cream cheese- 2 tbs Grated  cheese- 1/3 cup I used both Parmesan and mozzarella cheese)  Italian style bread crumbs- 1/3 cup Shallot finely chopped- 2 garlic- 2 cloves Pepper powder-a pinch Cajun spice mix- a dash (optional) Chopped parsley/coriander- 2 tbs salt to taste Extra virgin olive oil Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Hold mushrooms under running water and using a damp cloth gently scrub the  top and snap out the stem (do not discard,chop finely and add to the filling) and using a spoon gently scrap and make it a perfect cavity for the filling.

Palpayasam

Paal payasam/Palpayasam Happy Onam to all my friends and readers! Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Onam!!! Onam is finally here and no celebration is complete without a sweet dessert. I am sure no Malayali can think of a sadhya without a payasam. Pal payasam is definitely a star,my all time favorite :) This is a rich delicious payasam where the rice is cooked in milk till it attains a creamy texture. The milk gets reduced and the flavor and taste is very much  like palkova. It has very little ingredients, but it is time consuming and  needs a little patience to prepare this dessert. Here I have used basmathi rice but it is best if we use payasam ari (rice) or rose matta rice.Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Basmathi Rice- 2 hand full ( or rose matta rice) Milk- 5 cup Sugar- 1/2 cup Cardamon crushed-4-5 Cashew nut- 8-10 Wash and soak rice for one hour. In a heavy bottom pan pour milk and bring it to a bo...

Malabar Chicken Curry

Malabar Chicken Curry Today's chicken curry is a Malabari delicacy. It is always a crowd-pleaser, and besides, there is nothing like an easy to make, heartwarming curry, relished with steamed rice. The chicken curry is creamy and delicious with coconut milk and smoothly ground masala paste as its base. It is a lusciously creamy chicken curry with a tropical flair. For exotic eating, experience, try pairing this curry with neypathal, pathiri, or ghee rice. Sounds exciting, huh? Then check the recipe, it is super simple to make. This chicken curry is one of our family favorites. Spicy chicken gravy is one curry that I never get bored eating. But once in a while, love to try variations. This recipe is from the worn-out pages of an old cookbook. I obviously cannot comment about the authenticity of this recipe. The word authentic is confusing.  But I guarantee it tastes everything you want from an exotic curry- spicy, tangy, delicious, and rich with the fragrance of coconut mi...
