Healthiest Fish recipe ever known by man :)

Hey you like fish – healthy and delicious. Yeah Yeah I know. What you thinking but No. Not a pinch of oil...
So here it goes
The maker – The Momo making machine ..
½ Kg of any kind of fish – Try Bohu because that ‘s what I tried or any boneless fish or fish with less bones.. Actually it does not matter
The marinating process1) Take 2-3 pieces of garlic cloves (Mind you not too much. I smelt like garlic for 2 days when I made it for the 1st time)
2) Take 1 big piece of ginger . You would need more of ginger than garlic
3) Chillies based on your taste buds
4) A little salt
5) Lots of coriander leaves (Dhaniya patta
Once you have all the stuffs, Mix them in a mixer, or manual grinder. I like the latter and mix it with the fish. Here you can use little oil (Very little)
Now that you have keep it covered say for an hour. Please do not add Vinegar (it’s a request).
Now take an aluminium foil and place the fish in the centre and fold the four sides of the aluminum foil up to prevent the juice from flowing.Place the fish cupped in aluminum foil on the steamer tray.Steam the fish for 20 -30 minutes or till fully cooked. Use a fork to poke iknto center of the fish to check
Once done… enjoy with food or with your drinks. You may also add very thinly sliced Carrots, spring onions on top to garnish
To make the fish little crisper, what I tried what I took the fish out and grilled it. You do not need to go through all that. It works either way.
Now who said a girl who lived outside Arunachal for a decade can’t cook ;)

Healthy breakfast snack


This one tried, when I wanted a snack, nothing too heavy, leftovers not be wasted.
I had made some Chole one night and when I saw my fridge the next day, I knew I was not in for another round of Chole-Rice or did not want to fry those pooris again.
I made a quick snack with whatever I could find in my kitchen.

I made 3 big chapattis – Atta and not maida ok

  • First I washed the cooked Chole in water (Mind you, here I am talking about the Chole masala that I had cooked the day before).
  • some onions (You can use depending on your taste)
  • one half cucumber
  • one small raw tomato (Fine!!! I did not. I just wrote that to make the recipe sound good okay..but you know, you should add tomatoes. I don’t eat raw tomatoes but I have been told that it tastes good)
  • 2 green chilies
  • One big sized potato (Boiled and cut in small cubes)
I made some pudina chutney by mixing pudina, one clove of garlic, little salt, little sugar and mix them in the mixer with very little water.
My cabbage was good to be thrown but I took out the outer rotten leaves and was left with very small tiny cabbage which helped

NOTE – you can add any kind of vegetables that you want. I just don’t like to add too many as it confuses my taste buds.

After I got all the ingredients chopped, I was ready.

Now that I have it all, I mixed it all together, took one chapatti, put the mixture in between, spread some pudina chutney.rolled it, ducked the chappati from behind and awesome…. Healthy snack ever. No oil, No masala, no leftovers.. yeeehhh

I wont say try with bread because.. than you loose the authenticity of it.You can also use the chapattis that you made the night. It is nice to eat even if the chapattis are crispy – Just like Tacos ;)

I saw this on TV once. Some Indian street food vendor was making it in South Africa… Can you beat it… It’s a hit in that country
