Amritsari Fish

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!

Honey & Miso Poussin recipe, eat well on universal credit

This might look like a bit of a showy dressed up gig. But we’re not keen on spending more for a Small Chicken, than a Large one was last year. So when Poussin appear in the Yellow Sticker fridge I’m more than happy to pay the discounted price knowing that there’s enough per serving and no waste. They have a much greater Meat / Cavity
ration than the larger birds, so they actually work out better value.


Ingredients:-

2 Poussins

Marinade Ingredients:-

2 Tbsp of Honey
2 Tbsp of Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Zest of ½ a Lemon, plus the juice
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
A Thumb of Ginger, grated
1 Tsp of Dried Thyme
1 Tsp of Miso
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Combine the Marinade Ingredients.
(2) Pour over the Poussins.
(3) Place in the fridge covered for 30 minutes.
(4) Cook in a pre-heated oven for 1 hour at 180c covered.
(5) Remove the Poussins from the sauce and set aside covered.
(6) Pour the remaining sauce into a pan and simmer to reduce.
(7) Spoon the reduced sauce over the Poussins to server.

As we’re enjoying our Asian recipes at the moment and have pretty much all the ingredients at hand, it would have been erroneous not to ‘Chinesificate’ them!
