Fish Puttu/Fish Stir Fry



Fish Puttu/Fish Stir Fry

Fish puttu is a delicious comfort dish. It is scrambled fish stir fried with onions and spices. I often make scrambled fish with caramelized onion,but this is a more healthier version and tasty too. I tried this recipe for the first time at my aunts house in Chennai. It looked very similar to meen thoran, but had a different taste and I love this dish.Any meaty fish can be used to make this recipe like shark,salmon or king fish. Here I have used Tuna.Fish puttu tastes delicious with rice and rasam.

Ingredients
Fish- 1 1/2 lb
(here I used fresh Tuna)
Onion- 1 medium
Chopped Ginger- 2 tbs
Chopped garlic- 1 tbs
Grated coconut- 3 tbs
Green chilly- 3-4
Cumin- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/3 tsp
Pepper powder- 1/3 tsp
Asafotida- a pinch
Urad dal-1 tsp
Curry leaves- a few
Chopped coriander- a hand full
lemon juice- a few drops

 

Cook fish with turmeric,salt and pepper powder. Sprinkle a few drops of water and cook. Allow this to cool. If the fish has skin and bones take it out and using a fork scramble it and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and when they splutter add urad dal and let it get golden brown. Add hing, curry leaves, ginger, garlic and green chilly and stir fry for a minute. Next add onion and saute till golden brown. Add chilly powder, a pinch of turmeric,cumin powder, coconut and the shredded fish. Stir fry this for two to three minutes and add chopped coriander and lemon juice. Serve with rice.

Try this
Hope you will all enjoy!

Spiced Pineapple Pickle- Kerala Pineapple Achar

Spiced Pineapple Pickle- Kerala Pineapple Achar Pineapple pickle is a delicious pickle, fresh and bursting with tropical flavors. Pineapple pickle has a sweet and savory combination and adds a zesty kick to any meal. Do you like sweet and spicy pickles?. I love pickled, salted, and fermented vegetables and fruits . It is easy-to-make condiments and a must-have in my kitchen. My family favorites are sweet and savory pineapple chutney and spiced pineapple in salted brine. Salted pineapples are good on sandwiches, fish tacos, or roasted meat. The best part of this pickle is that you can use it just like chutney or salted pineapple. The pickle is for those who love to take the spice level a notch higher. Pineapple pickle is a tongue-tingling sweet, tangy, mildly spiced pickle. It is delicious, and the flavor and taste are irresistible. It can be paired practically with everything, but it is best with parathas and naan. This recipe is from my mother-in-law.
