Indian fried Fish

We’re trying to avoid all the general Take Away Indian recipes and go for some slightly unusual ones. As 2/3 on the Indian sub-continent is surrounded by sea it’s not unrealistic for us to find quite a few Fish recipes.

½ Tsp of Chilli Powder
1 Tsp of fresh Ginger, grated
1 Tsp of Lemon Juice
1 Tsp of ground Coriander
1 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp of Olive Oil
½ Tsp of Asafoetida
½ Tsp of Salt

Coating Ingredients:-

4 Tbsp of Gram Flour
1 Tsp of Rice Flour
½ Tsp of Salt
½ Tsp of Turmeric
1 Tsp of Garam Masala
1 Egg, beaten
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Combine the Turmeric, Chilli Powder, Ginger, Lemon Juice, Ground Coriander. Cumin, Salt and Asafoetida in a bowl.
(2) Dry the Fish with kitchen roll and swear both sides with the spice mix.
(3) Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the fish to take on the flavours.
(4) Combine the dry ingredients for the coating.
(5) Heat the Oil in a large frying pan.
(6) Dip the Fish in the Egg and then cost in the spiced flour fix.
(7) Fry the Fish for 3 minutes then turn over and fry for a further 2 minutes.
(8) Drain of kitchen paper before serving.

Obviously we have to distort this recipe dreadfully and add chips, dips, foraged Pine Bolete Bhaji and an Indian style Colslaw…...

Amritsari Fish recipe, eat well on universal credit

We fancied a bit of Fish for a change. But decided to ‘Pimp’ it up a bit. So Indian style Fish and Chips was the result.

Ingredients for the Fish Marinade:-

A reasonable sized fillet of Fish (Cod in our case) Cut into pieces
¼ of a Tsp of Asafoetida
¼ of a Tsp of Fenugreek
½ a Tsp of Hot Paprika
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced to a paste
The Juice of half a Lemon
1 Thumb of fresh Ginger, minced to a paste
½ a Tsp of Cumin powder
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients.
(2) Evenly coat the fish and allow to marinade for 20 minutes.
(3) Dredge in the dry batter mix ingredients (See below)

Ingredients for the Batter:-

3 Tbsp of Cornflour
3 Tbsp of Gram Flour
¼ of a Tsp of Asafoetida
¼ of a Tsp of Fenugreek
1 Tsp of Baking Powder
½ tsp of Turmeric
Soda Water
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Mix all the dry ingredients and dredge the Fish to coat.
(2) Set the Fish aside.
(3) Heat a fryer to 170c.
(4) Add Soda Water and whisk to create a thick batter.
(5) Coat the Fish in Batter mix and fry in small batches until they float and the batter looks quite browned.
(6) Drain on kitchen paper before serving.

We dressed ours with a Lemon Caper dressing and fresh Parsley. The flavours of the spices really gave a bit of white Fish a kick! We’ll probably not be making plain old Fish & Chips again, any time soon!
