Tartar Sauce and a Grilled Fish Recipe


Most people buy Tartar Sauce
already made in a jar.

But, it's so quick and easy to make
and the fabulous fresh flavor is
WORTH IT!


Tartar Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/4 tsp. onion powder

Mix mayonnaise and pickle relish in a medium bowl.


Add the remaining ingredients
and mix well.


Refrigerate the tartar sauce to meld flavors
while you prepare the fish.


I buy these frozen bags of Tilapia when
they are on sale.
You can also use other white fish like cod or catfish.
The tilapia shrinks a LOT when cooked,
so make sure you buy enough.
2 bags feed just two to three people.

Thaw the Tilapia.


Prepare your COLD grill before lighting.
Clean off any debris with a grill brush.
Wipe a light coating of vegetable oil (I use Canola)
over the grates with a paper towel.

Don't use too much or the
grates can catch on fire!


Heat grill to high.

Mix up a half cup of olive oil
with McCormick's Creole Seasoning to taste.
(found with grocery spices)
This seasoning is a bit hot and spicy, so go sparingly at first.
Sprinkle with salt.
You can also add some minced garlic.


Brush this onto the thawed tilapia.
You can sprinkle on more creole seasoning if
you like things hot and spicy.


Grill the fish about 3 minutes on each side.


This is a quick and yummy meal.

My family thinks the fresh tartar sauce
is the star!

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

The girls all had a fun time making them and they can't wait to wear them to school on the same day!  We got this idea from my niece who made these at a party a few years ago.  We thought they were so cute that we wanted to try them at our party this year.  We bought black flip flops for every girl from Old Navy, for $2.50 a pair.  I would recommend going a size larger in flip flops.  We bought 3 packs of 500 water balloons and had plenty of water balloons left over, perfect for a water balloon fight!

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
