CHETTINAD FISH FRY/CHETTINAD SEER FISH FRY


CHETTINAD FISH FRY


Chettinad is known for its spicy curries especially the non vegetarian gravies and curries. The chettinad fish fry is no exception .

The special masala applied for marinating gives the special taste. Since there is a little bit of extra masala in this recipe on the fish, if the fish is fried in a tawa or sauce pan the taste of the masala will be fully retained. If the fish is fried in oil some of the masala is likely to be lost in the oil. But either way the taste will be awesome.

You can use any type of firm fleshed fish to make this recipe. I used seerfish. Serve Chettinad Fish Fry Recipe with rasam rice or meen kulambu...

AMRITSARI CHOLE MASALA/AMRITSARI CHANNA MASALA

AMRITSARI CHOLE MASALA/AMRITSARI CHANNA MASALA Amritsari Chole  are traditional Amritsar style spicy  Chole  Recipe made using freshly ground  chole  masala. The curry has a slightly darker hue due to tea bags that are used while boiling the  chole . This taste so delicious with battura or roti. I made some black tea, strained it and used that in this recipe. If you have those tea bags, throw few when cooking chana in the pressure cooker. The more tea bags you add the more black your chana will be. But don't use too much, else your chana will be bitter. Hope you will give this try and let me know how it turns out for you.
