With a coastline of 480km, innumerable ponds and many rivers, availability of fish in the state has always been comfortable and made people of Odisha fond of fish . Fish has always been cooked and served in many forms. This recipe of mine is a simple one; very convenient and easy. I have chosen pomfret which has a few bones and makes it a favourite with the children. You can, however, take any fish of your choice.
Here goes the method....happy cooking !
Pomfret -4 pcs (cut into half)
Oil- 2 table-spoon
Dry spices for marination-
Salt -To taste
Turmeric(haladi powder)- 1 tea-spoon
Red chilli powder - To taste
Ginger and garlic paste- 1tea-spoon
Coriander powder-1tea-spoon
Method -
Marinate the pieces of pomfret with all the dry spices. Keep aside for 20 minutes. Take a non stick pan and add oil. Heat the oil and simmer the flame. Add the marinated pomfret pieces. It will take 7 to 8 minutes to fry the fish on both the sides. The raw smell of ginger garlic should completely vanish. When the fish is well cooked you will get a nice aroma . Serve hot with rice and tadka wali dal. Bon appe'tit !
