Tandoori Seer Fish Wraps


My brother in law once brought me this big chunk of Seer fish. Seer Fish has a  white meaty flesh and is really great used in curries and for grilling, as it holds its shape, its a lot like tuna and sword fish.

I didn't want to make a curry and was looking around the kitchen when I noticed a packet of tandoori  spice mix.  So I made a tandoori spiced fish , a lot like making tandoori chicken, marinating the fish and then placing in a hot oven to cook. If you are having a barbecue or grill then just  pop them on it.

Recipe: Tandoori Seer Fish Wraps 

Serves about 3 , depends on appetite 

About 250-300g of Seer fish,also known as Kurumas locally, skinned and bones removed

For the Marinade : 2 tsp tandoori spice mix
                               3 tbsp plain yoghurt
                               3 fat cloves of garlic
                              1/2 " ginger, grated
                              1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
                              1 tbsp oil ( vegetable oil)
                               1/2 tsp salt
                               3 -4 bamboo skewers or metal skewers

Salad : 1 carrot, grated
           3 kopee fai ( or Kale ), finely shredded
           1 small onion, thinly sliced
           juice of  a cheek of lime
           salt
extra plain yogurt
6 plain cooked flat bread, such as pita pockets, roshi,  or chapatti  

First prepare the fish. Skin and cut the fish into bite size cubes.  Set a side. In a bowl, mix  marinating ingredients , and add the fish cubes and mix well, leave to marinate for a few hours.
If using bamboo skewers , soak them in hot water for a few hours. This prevents them from burning if you are going to put them in the grill or barbie.

Now using the coarse side of the grater, grate the carrots, and finely shred the Kopee fai into a bowl. Add the onion slices and set aside.

When its about an hour to serve, heat up your barbie or your oven , if using the oven  you want a really hot oven.  Place a piece of foil on   a baking sheet, and then skewer the fish piece in to the bamboo or metal skewers and place them over the baking tray.  Pop in oven ( middle shelf ) and then cook for about  20  minutes. Fish doesn't take long to cook and you want nice and moist pieces of fish not hard and dry. , turn the skewers around half way during cooking time and make sure the oven  or barbie is hot before you put them in .

Now to serve, serve the salad, dressed with the lime juice and salt just before serving , warm flat bread and fish and yogurt. To assemble, just place a flat bread, add salad and crumble some fish add a dollop of yogurt if you like , roll up and enjoy.  !

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...

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...
