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.

1 Tsp of fresh Ginger, grated
1 Tsp of Lemon Juice

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…...

Asian style Devilled Lime & Ginger Kidney

OK so Pork Kidney is not traditional for this dish, but they were ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 62p. The Mushrooms were also ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 32p, so all in all this recipe was well under budget and if I do say it myself, Restaurant quality….

Ingredients:-

400g of Pork Kidney, cut into small pieces
4 Mushrooms, finely diced
2 Shallots, finely diced
2 Clove of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of fresh Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of dried Oregano
1 Tsp of dried Thyme
60ml of water
15ml of Greek style Yogurt
The juice of 1 Lime
1 Tsp of Lime zest
1 Tbsp of Cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Cut and rinse the Kidneys.
(2) Coat in Cornflour and set aside covered.
(3) In a frying pan with a little Oil saute the Onions, Garlic, Mushrooms, Ginger, Oregano, Thyme, with a seasoning of Salt and Pepper until the Onion is translucent.
(4) Remove this mixture and cover.
(5) In the same pan add the cut Kidneys and saute until the juices run clear.
(6) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(7) Add the Onion mixture back to the pan and stir in the Greek Yogurt, Lime Juice & Zest and stir well.
(8) Continue to stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
(9) Add everything back to the pan and stir to combine until heated through.

We’d been joking about an All Day Breakfast, so we served ours with Tokneneng  and crispy bacon, with a Pea shoot garnish over a ramekin of boiled Rice. Looks dreadfully fancy, but cost us very little!
