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!"

Ulli Chammanthi (Onion Chutney)

"Ulli Chammanthi" is the very famous chutney of Kerala.Needless to say, my favourite too. One in every 3 houses in Kerala will definitely have Ulli Chammanthi for their breakfast. It usually compliments well with idlis and any type of South Indian Dosas. My mom-in-law makes it super-duper delicious. If you get a good home made Ulli Chammanthi, then don't even think of counting the number of idlis or Dosas which go inside your tummy. :) "Ulli" in Malayalam means Onion and "Chammanthi" means Chutney. No coconut required unlike other Kerala dishes, but we definitely leave the Malayalee imprints in every Kerala dish, so we drizzle a generous amount of coconut oil. :) Please do try making it at home and you will see people lick off their plate even after the idlis and dosas are long gone. :) Ingredients: 5-6 medium onions (peeled and cut into chunks) 1 tomato (cut into chunks) 3 whole dry red chillies 1 tbsp of cooking oil salt to taste coconut oil to driz...

Anniversary & Pouring Awards with Pista Kulfi

Took a break from blog & cooking for a couple of days as I was in a mood to celebrate!! That's right, Arun and I celebrated our 4 years of married life on 10th June. Phew, time truly flies in just a snap!! (Below is our wedding snap, a perfect South Indian Wedding shot...please don't laugh at it.;). So I was in no mood to cook that day & told Arun that the meals of the day will be either frozen, take away or a dine out. He preferred the third one. ;) So we went to one of our favourite food joints {Did I tell you, that we live in a place called Chesterfield, a Historic Market Town in UK & don't have much choices around here ;)}, "Frankie & Benny's."My god, we both die for those thin crust Italian Pizzas & the cheesy gar(lick)y bread which melts in your mouth like a candy floss...Aah! Now, I have to tell you what we ordered, because it was that good. ;) For starters, we ordered their famous garlic bread with crispy coated chicken ...

Naankhatai

Naankhatai is to India as S hortbread is to Scotland,    Naankhatai is an Indian shortbread (originally brought by the Iranians to India) quite similar to a Scottish shortbread but only more soft, more crumbly and more delicious. I like to call them the "Indian white Bakery biscuits" because I have always seen them stored in those big cookie jars in front of the bakery till counters. For me, these white dome shaped cookies always stood out from the other cookies.  This 3 ingredients cookie is super easy to bake plus there are no eggs involved so Hello Vegetarians!! One can always experiment with a combination of flours (gram flour, corn flour, semolina, etc) but being me I went for the most tastiest and a slightly unhealthy version of using only refined flour. Do try any version you like but do not forget to dunk these melt in the mouth cookies in  your masala chai and go mmmmm....:) Happy Baking!!   Ingredients: 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 cup butt...
