Fish chilly roast is a semi dry preparation with the flavor of chilly peppers. Here I have used Jalapeno peppers which is a moderate heat chilly.It has a mild flavor like bell pepper and if you remove off the seeds which causes the heat it infuses a very good aroma to your dish.You can use any chilly according to your taste or skip that altogether. This can be served as a side dish for rice, pulao or as an appetizer.It is similar to the Kerala style chicken roast.If you are tried with the usual fish curry why not give this recipe a try.
Ingredients
Boneless fish- 1 lb
(I used King fish)
Thinly sliced onions- 1 medium
Jalapeno peppers - 3
Ginger- 1 inch thick
Garlic- 6 pods
Tomato - 2 small
Chilly powder- 3/4 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Fenugreek powder-a pinch
Garam Masala - 3/4 tsp
Vinegar- 1 tsp
curry leaves
salt to taste
Cut fish into medium sized cubes and marinate with salt,turmeric, chilly powder and keep aside.
Make a paste of ginger and garlic and puree tomatoes. Heat oil in a pan and add curry leaves and sliced onions and saute till golden brown. Add in ginger garlic paste and after a minute the tomato puree. Saute till the tomatoes are cooked and oil separates. Add garam masala,fenugreek powder and vinegar and finally the fish( You can also slightly fry the fish before adding) and pour 1/3 cup of water. Cover and cook till the fish is almost done. Add the chopped peppers and gently stir and roast till all the water gets evaporated and the onion masala gets coated on the fish. Serve with rice or pulao.
