BM #1 - AAE - Day 5 - Easy Peasy Fish Fry

By
I am a seafood lover. I love fishes of all varieties, with bones or without bones, doesn't matter. I have the enormous patience to remove each bone from the fish and relish it to the core. Prawns and crabs are my all time favorites. I have never cooked prawns or crabs so far, but I thoroughly love eating them. On my recent trip to Goa, I had a great time digging into some awesome Goan Prawn Curry, crab masala, squids. Heavenly!

My exposure to eating fish dates back to my childhood days in Asansol where our neighbors would make fish everyday for their meal. Hop into to anyone's house, and you will find fish being fried in mustard oil. Its nostalgic! I acquired my fish eating skills from then.

At home, everybody prefers the non bones variety of fishes as its the easiest to eat. Cooking any type of seafood is the easiest. It takes less than 10-15 mins to cook unlike meat.

This recipe is very easy and tastes fantastic.

Ingredients:

1/2 kg fish, cut, cleaned and drained (I have used Black Pomfret)

Dry Spice Rub:
1 tsp cumin,
3 tsp whole coriander,
1 tbsp pepper corns,
1- 2 cloves,
1 cinnamon sticks,
1 tsp turmeric powder,
Salt as per taste

Wet Spice Rub:
2-3 green chillies,
1 inch ginger,
6 garlic pods,
1/2 lemon juice
Method:
  1. Dry roast all the dry ingredients. Once cooled, grind it into a fine powder.
  2. Grind all the wet ingredients and set it aside.
  3. Marinate the fish by using the wet ingredients and about 2-3 tbsp of the dry spice rub. Add salt as per taste and leave it for about 2 hours.
  4. Shallow fry on a non-stick pan until cooked. 
  5. Serve hot.
I serve this as a starter. You could pair this up with a fish gravy dish served along with steamed rice.

 Chakli is a delightfully scrumptious snack that is often made in India during Diwali festival. Also known as Chakri, these spiral shaped crunchy snacks are made using the perfect blend of lentils and spices. Deep fried to a golden brown perfection, chaklis are lightly spiced with turmeric and chili packing in an explosion of flavors in every bite. Different parts of India have variations of this recipe. For example, in South India, Murukku(Chakli) is made using rice flour and a mild seasoning of salt and asafoetida. In Gujarat, Chakri is made with whole wheat flour or rice flour. In Maharashtra it is made with Bhajani, a special homemade flour. Chakli is easily one of the most popular Indian Diwali snack AKA faral and is best enjoyed with a piping hot cup of tea.

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...
