Rava Laddoo – Diwali Special!!!
Diwali is just few days away and
I am sure everyone is busy making sweets and savories. I decided to make some
myself . To be honest I have never
really prepared Indian sweets. But with the new blog and Diwali, I felt I
should make more Indian sweets other than gajar ka halwa. Since it is my first time I wanted something
simple. Rava laddoo was the obvious
option and also suggested by my mom and aunt.

Pomfret in Green Masala
The fiesta continues. Here is another Pomfret curry. I love
green colored gravies. Be it chicken Cafreal or chicken in green masala or
coriander chutney . Green gravies often are made with lots of coriander leaves
and green chilies. I love both these ingredients. The freshness of coriander
leaves with the pungent green chili just elevates my mood.

Maanji Ghashi ( Pomfret in a spicy coconut based gravy)
Like I mentioned in my last post
, it’s a fish fiesta in my house. Reason, we have got lots of fish. It is just
not possible to go to the market and not get loads of fish. When in the market
it is just feels like you need to buy all of it and more.
The first thing I do is to survey
the market. See what is available and make a mental note of what I would buy
and from which vendor. Next comes the
biggest challenge…BARGAIN. It takes lot of patience and skill to do this. I am
no good at it but thank god my hubby is. I am usually just praying they come to
an agreement and I get the fish I want. In
spite of deciding every time not to buy too many ….we never succeed. So I have
lots of fish and so lots of recipes to post.
Ingredients
Pomfret – 4 cut into pieces
Onion – 3
Ginger - 7 to 8 tbsp finely chopped
Coconut – ½ grated
Tamarind – a small piece
Red chilies – 7 to 8 lightly sautéed (as per taste)
Method
1.
Grind ½ onion ,coconut, red chilies, tamarind into
a smooth paste
2.
In a wok , add the fish ,1 onion
finely chopped , 3 tbsp ginger and some water and let it cook
3.
When the fish is half cooked, add
the masala and mix well.
4.
Allow this to cook on a low flame
till the fish is cooked and the raw smell of masala is gone.
5. In
another pan heat 3 tsp oil. Add
remaining onion (1 ½) and brown it slightly. When done add remaining ginger and fry
for another 2 to 3 minutes .Add this to the fish curry.
