Fish Vindaloo

Fish Vindaloo

 

Vindaloo is a Goan dish which is very popular in India. The main ingredients are Kashmiri chilly and vinegar. I like the balanced sweet and sour taste in this dish.

 

Ingredients

·         Fish – 500g

·         Kashmiri chilies- 15

·         Turmeric powder-1/2 tsp.

·         Cumin seeds- 3/4 tsp.

·         Mustard- ½ tsp.

·         Grated garlic- ¾ tsp.

·         Grated ginger-3/4 tsp.

·         Grated coconut-3/4 cup

·         Vinegar-1/4 cup

·         Sliced shallots- 2 tbsp.

·         Oil-2 tbsps.

·         Salt to taste

Method

 

·         Grind together the Kashmiri chilies, turmeric, cumin, mustard, garlic, ginger and half of the sliced shallots to a fine paste

·         Grind the grated coconut separately.

·         Heat oil in a curry pot, fry the remaining shallots and when it starts getting a golden brown color add the ground masala.  Sauté till the raw smell of the masalas are no more.

·         Add vinegar, coconut paste, salt, a cup of water and boil it.

·         Add the fish pieces, cover and cook it in a low flame.

·         When the gravy is thick enough switch off the gas.

·         Serve it with plain rice or chappathy.

Note:- the gravy tends to get thicker, so adjust the thickness accordingly.
