Fish Fingers - you cant stop munching:

This is an excellent snack / appetizer which will be loved by all the non veggies. Fish finger has a crunchy crispiness outside and softness of tender fish inside. They can be baked in the oven, shallow fried, grilled or deep fried. In all the ways they are quite appealing and appetizing.



I have been thinking of making this but I didn’t know what type of fish is used for this. Most of the fish fingers are made with salmon, which we get very rarely.  So I thought of buying a fleshy fish and ended up with black pomfret and the result was scrumptious. My little one couldn’t stop munching till the last. These days I make them regularly as fish (as compared to any other non-veg) is very nutritious and healthy for kids.

In this recipe, the fish is cut into rectangles, marinated with spices, covered in breadcrumbs and fried in oil. Fish fingers can also be used as a filling for burger and sandwiches.



Ingredients:
  1. Fish- 500gms
  2. Ginger garlic paste- 1tbsp
  3. Red chilli powder- 2tsp
  4. Pepper powder- 1tsp
  5. Salt- as required
  6. Lemon juice- 1tbsp
  7. Egg- 1no
  8. Corn flour- ½ cup (for coating)
  9. Bread Crumbs- ½ cup (for coating)
  10. Oil- for deep frying
Method:
  1. Wash and cut the fish into finger shaped pieces.
  2. Combine ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, pepper powder, Lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Marinate the finger shaped fish in the above mix and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Meanwhile heat oil in wok for deep frying.
  4. Beat the egg with little salt and keep it aside.
  5. After 30 minutes dip and coat each fish finger in the egg mixture and then roll in the corn flour and bread crumbs well. Deep fry in hot oil till they turn golden brown.
  6. Serve it with tartar sauce or tomato sauce as usual.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
