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!

Stuffed Bagel with Chicken Teriyaki

This is a double whammy of a dish. It is simply my take on a stuffed Bagel , one could stuff it with their desired kind of ingredients. I for one love the sesame crusted Bagels, to go with my Chicken Teriyaki . It is quite a simple dish, yet full of flavor and serves as a heavy snack.                                           Stuffed Bagel ready to be eaten! A good Teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. Our homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling. MARINADE for the Teriyaki Chicken 1/4 cup Ketchup 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar 2 teaspoons minced fresh Garlic 2 teaspoons minced fresh Ginger 2 teaspoons Sesame oil 400 g boneless, skinless chicken...
