Thai Fried Curry Fish Fry


I am making this Thai recipe for this weekend because during winter you always crave for hot and spicy food.
First I started this recipe with a fried fish, but was not satisfied so came up with the Thai chilies and make it more like a saute with all flavors incorporated.

Ingredients:
------------
2 fillets of Cat Fish cubed
2 tbsp Curry powder
1/2 tsp Cumin powder
1/4 tsp Chili powder
1/2 tsp White Pepper powder
Salt to taste
1/4 inch Ginger chopped
3 pods of Garlic chopped
5-6 Thai Red Chilies
2 medium size Onions
2 tsp Soya Sauce
1 tsp Oyster sauce
2 tsp Oil

Method:
---------
1. Marinate the fish with salt, pepper, curry powder, cumin powder, chili powder for about 10 mins ( mins on each side) and pan fry them and keep aside
2. Remove the fish and in the same pan add ginger and garlic saute it for about 1-2 mins.
3. Add Onions and Thai red chilies and saute it until the onions turn light brown.
4. Add soya sauce and oyster sauce, white pepper powder and salt.
5. Now add the fish and increase the flame to medium high and add the fish and carefully mix all the ingredients without breaking the fish.
6. Serve it hot with steamed rice or rice noodles.

Taste Of Thai

Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of Thailand. Thai cuisine places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components. Thai cuisine is known for being spicy. Balance, detail and variety are important to Thai cooking. Thai food is known for its balance of the five fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty, and (optional) bitter.

This weekend I planned to make two recipes to make in Thai style, as we like to eat spicy food. In both of these recipes I infused a little touch of Indian spices just to make it different.

Arisi Paruppu Sadham / Rice Lentil Medley | Indian Rice Recipes


When it comes to weekend cooking or quick weeknight dishes, I prefer one-pot meals. Arisi paruppu sadham is one such dish which is traditionally prepared in our house as a quick one. It is native to the Kongu region of South India. This is one of the dishes which I used to dislike during my childhood days. But I started liking it as days passed and when I was away from home for job. Those were
