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!"

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...

Dahi Vada / Thayir Vada (Lentil fritters soaked in chilled spiced yoghurt)

The name "Dahi Vada" itself makes my mouth drool. The soft, spongy vadas immersed in a chilled spicy, creamy yoghurt just melts in your mouth like an ice-cream. It looks oo like an ice-cream...Kind of Chocolate sauce drizzled over large Vanilla Ice-cream scoops. YUM!! There is so much going on, in a single bite that your taste buds will have an explosion of sweetness, saltiness, spiciness, all at the same time but yet you will be able to tell, what taste is coming from where. For my blogger friends who are not from India, let me tell you what exactly Dahi Vada is. "Dahi" means yoghurt in Hindi & "Vada" is the lentil fritters. These fritters are deep fried & then soaked in a spiced chilled yoghurt & then topped with a sweet chutney or sauce. This is one of the popular accompaniment or a delicacy prepared in an Indian cuisine. Both North & the South Indians prepare this dish but with a slight variation. Some like the yoghurt mo...

Light Lunch - Vegetable Soup

My last few days at Chesterfield, home alone, cherishing all the happy memories of the last 4 years. Spent whole day flipping through the photographs with a hot mug of Coffee relaxing on my recliner. I was in no mood to cook but then getting hungry is human, so I had to visit my kitchen to see what could be made. I decided to go light today so made use of all the remaining veggies (to clear off the fridge) to make a healthy Vegetable Soup. I finished off making a warm, healthy, filling soup for my lunch just within half an hour & went back to my couch only to get more lazy. Sometimes its good when you do nothing at all!! ;) Ingredients: 1/2 of medium cauliflower (cut into florets) 2 medium carrots (peeled & finely diced) 1 cup of fresh or frozen peas 1 medium potato (finely diced) 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed) 25 gm butter salt & pepper to season Method: Melt the butter in a pressure cooker. Now add the crushed garlic & the chopped ...
