I always get Pompano to make fish curry. But I have seen humongous sized fish in the market the name of which I have never heard.
Today I wanted to try some different curry for the fish and I did some research online and saw this recipe which looked really yummy. I thought that version would be very spicy for my taste buds and hence I modified it as per my taste and it turned out really good.
Ingredients:
Fish (pompano) - 2LBs
Onion, Finely chopped - 1+1
Tomato, Finely chopped - 1
Green chillies, slit - 3
Garlic- 3 cloves
Ginger - 2 inch
Red chilli powder - 3 tspn
Coriander powder - 2 tspn
Black pepper - 1 tspn
Garam masala - 1 tspn
Ajwain - a pinch
Methi seeds - a pinch
Yogurt - 2Tbspn
Tamarind pulp - 1 tspn
Lime Juice - 1 tspn
Salt
Oil
Cilantro to garnish
Cilantro to garnish
- Sautee one portion onions, green chillies, ginger and garlic together till the onions are golden brown.
- When it is done, keep that aside and roast red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, pepper, methi seeds and ajwain together for 4-5 mins on med-low heat.
- Grind the above two things together. Then saute remaining onions till they are golden brown.
- Then add the ground masala and fry for a few minutes.
- Now add tomatoes, tamarind, salt and 1/2 cup of water.
- Now add the fish pieces and cook for 7-10 mins turning the fish pieces over once.
- Garnish it with cilantro and serve with hot dill rice or roti.
I couldn't think of any variation but you can reduce the sourness by using whole cream instead of yogurt.
Conclusion:
I made this without anything in mind. I was not sure how this would turn but it turned out pretty yummy. It had a distinct hot n' sour taste.
