Chili fish-
Chili Fish â€" is inspired by a classic Indo Chinese restaurant fare. The restaurant version normally comes with the fish dipped in a flour paste and deep fried and has many more ingredients.

Chili Fish â€" is inspired by a classic Indo Chinese restaurant fare. The restaurant version normally comes with the fish dipped in a flour paste and deep fried and has many more ingredients. Mine is a much simpler version, okay it is not even really Indo Chinese, except for the soy sauce part. This recipe is very similar to my Chicken Chili Fry. But don’t let the simplicity fool you, it tastes really really good! I used catfish, though any thick fleshed white fish would work great in this recipe. Ingredients * 1 lb white fish cut into medium sized cubes * 1 tsp red chili powder * 1 tbsp light soy sauce * salt to taste * 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots * 2 tbsp thinly sliced garlic * 5 green chilies, quartered lengthwise * A bunch of curry leaves * 1tbsp oil. Method Marinate the fish pieces in a mixture of red chili powder, salt and soy sauce for 15 minutes. In a non-stick pan, add some oil and saute the fish pieces till brown on all sides. Remove and keep aside Add a little more oil if the pan is too dry. When it is hot, add the shallots, garlic and green chilies to the same pan. Saute till the shallots and chilies are soft. Add the curry leaves and fish pieces and mix well, be careful not to break the fish pieces. Cook on medium high heat for 3-4 minutes stirring carefully, till everything starts to brown a little bit. Just don’t break the fish pieces. Serve warm. less
