Semolina fried Spiced Fish (Rava Masala Fish)

Inspired by a recipe from a magazine, I tried making this simple yet decadent treat at home. I had first tasted this at a shack in Goa. The cook tastes great with fishes like Mackarel, Surmai, Pomfret, Seer fish etc. Fish Rava/Semolina fried is a must try dish in Goa while you look out at the sea chugging down a mug of beer.

I tried to recreate this experience , with a bottle of Brit-brewed beer and some average television :D

Fish- 4-5 pieces
Lemon juice of 1 lemon
Ginger - 1 inch grated
Salt- as per palate
Cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
Red chili powder- 1/2 tsp

I mixed these ingredients and marinated the fish pieces for 25 mins.

I dabbed a little bit Red chili powder on both surface of the pieces, so that it takes the hue. (You may not follow this step, if you chose to. This will add an additional hint of heat, which goes with this fish)

Take Semolina/ Rava and spread it on the surface of a plate. Place each fish piece on this plate, one at a time, and coat the semolina (with one dry hand) on all the surfaces, so that the semolina is finely coating the surface of the fish.

Heat oil in a Wok, and dip each coated fish in this oil, frying carefully so that the coat is intact and golden brown on all sides color. Remove this onto kitchen paper and serve (You may add lemon wedges on the side.)

With a bottle of beer , this fish will make you snacking a perfect experience. Enjoy!

The bad ass buffet at Global Fusion!

I have been to Global Fusion over eight times and I confess that till date I have never been able to taste all the dish on their menu. Such is the 'vastness' of their buffet! The very first time that we had been to this place, we were in for a surprise with this vast spread, but we learnt this soon enough and for our forthcoming trips we have been relatively prepared, because one cannot be fully prepared for this vast array of Asian food choices. Everything on their menu card happens to be on display, and one can order this together or in portions, for a fixed per head cost. Most of everything that they have on display are interesting options and good and the place is good value for money! View from our Table 29 at Global Fusion Their display includes a Sushi counter. But my favorite is the Baked Prawn with Cheese and the Prawn Tempura. My husband is very fond of their Prawn Tempura and the Iceberg chicken. Their Tempura’s are perfectly crispy on the outside and m...
