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 ;)

Mix vegetables with Tinned fish - Its healthy and its yummy

If you like Tinned fish, you will like this too

All you need (if you are cooking for say 4 people)

1)      vermicelli –White ones (Sewai) . So when you go to a store, ask for sewai which is not fried.One packet is enough
2)      Two medium size potatoes
3)      2-3 capsicums
4)      Green chilies
5)      1 small Cauliflower
6)      1 mooli – I seriously don’t know the English name
7)      2 tomatoes  - Not too raw

Oil, Salt and water
Basically, you can add other vegetables that you like. I have mentioned the above because they go well with Tinned fish


The process

·        Cut all the vegetables in small cubes and set it aside. In a Pan/Karahi, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and fry the potatoes, mooli and cauliflowers.
·        After 5-7 minutes, check if they have softened little bit.
·        Once they are, add the other vegetables and add little water and cook for another 5 minutes. Let the vegetables soak the water completely. Mind you, don’t get too greedy with water as the cauliflower is going to break its water ..Ha ha Here comes the baby cauliflower…
·        While they are being cooked, boil 4 cups of water in a different utensil  and add the vermicelli and bring it boil. Once the vermicelli is done, set is aside by throwing the extra water.

Now check your vegetables, add the tinned fish, fry in low flame for 2 minutes, Add salt and than add the vermicelli and cook for another 5 minutes in low flame
  
If you prefer gravy, you can add extra water

And if you add something extra… Please go on food lovers. If you love food, "EXPERIMENT"
