Fish Chilli Recipe
Ingredients:
1. 2 red snapper fillets; cut into small bite sized pieces
2. 1 tsp red chilli powder
3. 1 tbsp Kashmiri chilli powder
4. 1 tsp coriander powder
5. 1 large red onion; cubed
6. 1 yellow bell pepper; cubed
7. 2 green chillies, whole
8. 3 dry red chillies, whole
9. 1 large semi ripe red tomato; diced
10. 1 tbsp tomato sauce
11. 1 tsp soy sauce
12. 2 sprigs curry leaves
13. Salt, to season
14. Vegetable oil, to shallow fry this fish
15. 1 spring onion; sliced
Note – The amount of spices must be varied depending on the amount and cut of fish.
Method:
1. Marinate the fish pieces using chilli powder and salt; keep aside for 15 minutes. Shallow fry in oil and drain well. (Make sure that you do not constantly turn the fish pieces or you could end up breaking it into smaller bits).
2. In a pan, heat 3 tbsp oil, add curry leaves, onions, dry red chillies and green chillies. Sauté for a minute (you want the crunch of the onions) and add the tomatoes, bell pepper, chilli powder and coriander powder. Then add the tomato sauce and soy sauce; toss on high heat for another minutes and then add the fried fish pieces.
3. Season with salt and mix well to combine; toss for a few seconds and remove from heat. Garnish with spring onions.
4. Hot and spicy fish chilli is ready.
