Thai Style Sea Bass

Two days back. when I was browsing the TV channels, I came across some chef making a grilled Sea bass Thai style. It was so damn easy & healthy that I thought, this should definitely go in to my blog. I don't know the chef's name, neither do I remember the programme's name, what I do remember is the recipe. I have improvised a bit from the original recipe. It taste yum. Trust me, you should try making it. Within 30 minutes, your healthy dinner is ready.
Ingredients:
  • 1 whole sea bass (cleaned, scales removed, if you want keep the head & tails on, its ok but I usually cut it off)
  • 60 gm coriander leaves (finely chopped)
  • 1 lemon (cut into thin round slices)
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 big onion (cut into thin round rings)
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce (if not available, then use soy sauce)
  • 2 tbsp of ginger ( julienne)
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2 thai red chillies (if not available, use the finger chillies) (cut into strips, seeds removed)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp of soft brown sugar
  • salt & pepper to season
Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degree Celsius. Make deep cuts on both sides of the fish with a knife.Keep aside. Now take a baking tray, cover it with an aluminium foil.
  2. Place the onion rings in the middle of the tray, such that you place the fish on the bed of these rings.
  3. Now put the fish on top of the onion rings. Season the fish slightly with salt & peper. Don't forget to season inside the fish too.
  4. Now insert the lemon slices inside the fish. Drizzle the olive oil all over the fish, both inside & out.
  5. Put the tray into the oven & let the fish bake (you can even grill it) for 20 minutes & no more.
  6. While the fish is in the oven, let's make the Thai sauce. Heat a sauce pan & pour in the lemon juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, coriander leaves, julienne ginger, garlic, chillies, sugar & keep it for 5 minutes. The sauce should reduce & thicken a bit. Switch it off.
  7. After 20 minutes, take the fish out & slowly tip in to the serving plate with the onions on top of it (lets not waste the onions). Now slowly, drizzle the Thai sauce over the fish, also into the cuts made in the fish before.
  8. Perfect, healthy baked Sea Bass is ready to be eaten with a good glass of wine. Cheers!

    I have never prepared a whole fish (or most of a whole fish), but we catch a lot of bass in our lake. I'm going to try this recipe on "lake bass!"

3 Ingredients / 3 Minute Microwave PEDAS

It's Celebration time all the way!! Why? Because My FB fan page has just reached 150 "Likes" & am so thrilled. Also, the festivities will start from August in India. First coming up is "Raksha Bandhan", the festival which celebrates the relationship & bond of a Brother & Sister. So I thought of coming up with an easy to make Indian Sweet Dish, "Peda". A "Peda" is a North Indian Milk Sweet mainly consisting of Khoa (thickened whole milk), sugar & other Indian flavourings like saffron & cardamom seeds. Pedas are usually made during festivities or for offerings made in the temple for deities. This recipe is a simple process of the same "time consuming" Pedas where the Milk is kept on the heat for hours to make khoa & then goes to the next process. This is the first time for me as well & I have taken this recipe from "showmethecurry.com" the cookery website of Hetal & Anuja. And I must say...

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta...

Paneer Couscous Salad

Last two weeks were so hectic for me that I didn't find time to even open my blog page. Lots of friends coming home, cooking, eating junk, visiting places, our famous festival "Vishu" came up  & finally I ended up getting sick. I am still in bed but was so frustrated doing nothing that I thought let me post one of my healthy salad recipes which I had promised earlier. I saw this salad recipe in one of the BBC cookery shows & was quiet eager to make it. The original recipe suggests the use of Halloumi instead of Paneer. Halloumi is a type of Greek cheese made of mostly Goat's milk. It has the same texture of that as Paneer, hence I used Paneer. Must say, It was quite filling and delicious, perfect for a Summer afternoon. Ingredients: 200 gm couscous 200 ml hot vegetable stock / hot chicken stock 400 g can chickpeas (drained and rinsed) 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 courgette/zucchini (sliced) 200 gm paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese), cut 1 inch length wise 2 medi...
