FULKOPI DIYE BHETKI MACH (BARRAMUNDI IN CAULIFLOWER CURRY)

In my childhood days, my mom used to make this fish curry specially on Winter days when fresh cauliflower and bhetki mach were easily available in markets. Still I remember the taste and flavor of this fish curry and I made exactly like my mom’s way. Bhetki is my favorite fish as it is soft and with very less bones. If you like fish then definitely you love to have this light fish curry with loads of tender cauliflower, new potato, juicy tomato and the touch of coriander leaves, which is always flavorsome and luscious with plain boiled rice.

INGREDIENTS:

7-8 pcs Barramundi Fish (bhetki mach)
2 Medium Sized Potatoes, Peeled & Cut Each Potato in 4 Cubes
8-10 Florets of Cauliflower
1 Finely Chopped Onions

1 tsp Red Chili Powder
1 tsp Freshly Pounded Cumin Seeds
½ tsp Garam Masala Powder
1 tsp Sugar (optional)
2 tsp Clarified Butter (ghee)
2 tbsp Finely Chopped Cilantro (coriander leaves)
½ Cup Mustard Oil

METHOD:

Wash fish pieces nicely and make those pat dry. Marinate fish with little salt and 1 tsp turmeric powder. Mix well and set it aside for 15-20 minutes.
In the mean time, add cauliflower florets in boiling water. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain the excess water. Wash cauliflower once again in cold water, drain water completely and set it aside.
Heat 4 tbsp mustard oil in a wok or kadai. When it is smoking hot, carefully place 2-3 fish pieces on it. Fry till golden brown on each side, it will take 3 minutes to fry each side. Remove from oil and keep those aside. Continue the process with remaining fish pieces.
Smear potato and cauliflower florets with salt and little turmeric powder. Add potato in the same oil and sauté for 4-5 minutes on medium flame. Once potato done, drain those from the oil and add cauliflower florets in the remaining oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes again drain those florets and keep aside.
Heat remaining oil in the same pan. Add bay leaf and whole garam masala in it. Saute for 30 seconds, till a nice aroma comes out. Mix onion in it, fry till it turns golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste, sauté for 2minutes, mix cumin paste and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes, salt and  red chili powder. Fry till tomato turns mushy and leaves oil from the sides. Add sugar, clarified butter and 1&1/2 cup of warm water. Fold well. Let it boil. Amount of water depends on the amount of gravy you want to be on the dish.
Now add fried potatoes, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add fried fish pieces and cook for 3 minutes more. Add fried cauliflower, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Finally switch off the heat now. Sprinkle coriander leaves and garam masala powder on the top. Cover the lid and leave it for 5 minutes.

MURGH METHI MALAI IN MICROOVEN

This dish is a part of Mughlai Cuisine from the province of Awadh which is now very famous in UP and Delhi. Murgh Makhani is a dish which is certainly different from this dish, flavoured by Punjabi Cuisine. The Mughlai Cuisine often requires arduous amount of time and labour, which can take days for preparing a particular dish. But I prepared it in very easy way just within 15 to 20 minutes in microoven and it is mouth-watery and one of my favorite chicken recipe, a great dish indeed.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp Green Chili Paste
1 tsp Freshly Pounded Garam Masala Powder
1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
3 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Butter
½  tsp Sugar (for flavor)
2 tbsp Finely Chopped Coriander Leaves
Salt to Taste

METHOD:

Wash chicken pieces nicely and make those pat dry. Now marinate chicken with curd, green chilli paste, garlic paste, dried fenugreek leaves and salt. Refrigerate the marinated chicken for 4-5 hours (I prefer to keep marination for overnight).
Now take a micro oven safe bowl, pour oil on it and micro for 2 minutes at 100% power. Add fenugreek seeds in it, stir once and micro it for another 2 minutes.
Pour marinated chicken in it. Fold well. Cover and micro for 4 minutes at 100%. Open the lid and add red chili powder, stir nicely.  Again cover and micro for 4 minutes at 100%.
Add coriander leaves and give a nice stir. Cover and micro for another 2 minutes at 100%. Keep it in 5 minutes stand time.

Just before serving, add fresh cream and micro for 2 minutes uncovered at 100%.
Serve warm with hot phulkas or  parathas or naan or any rice dish. It is simply yummy!!!

HUNAN CHICKEN

Hunan / Xiang cuisines is one of the eight great traditions of Chinese Cuisine. Cooking techniques are very common but it is well known for its deep colour, fresh aroma, little oily and spicy hot flavour. Chilli peppers, shallots and garlic are liberally used in this cuisine, which is famous for being dry hot as opposed to Sichuan cuisine, to which it is often compared. Everything from the preparation to the presentation is more involved with Hunan cooking. Flavours are developed over time therefore creating a tastier dish. Hunan Chicken is a sweet and spicy dish where fried chicken pieces coated with sweet and spicy sauce and peanuts add some extra flavour.
