Fish Curry

Its been a long time since I wrote in my blog. My mother is with me for the summer; so the next set of recipes are her contribution. Fish is a good source of Omega 3 and this dish is a curry based recipe. The ingredients you will need are... Sardines - 250 gms Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp Coriander powder- 1 tsp Fenuegreek powder- a pinch Pepper powder - a pinch Mustard powder - a pinch Ginger - 1 inch, roughly chopped Garlic - 2 cloves, roughly chopped Onion - 1 medium size, chopped Curry leaves - a few Tamarind - a fistful Salt - to taste Olive oil - 1 tbsp Turmeric powder - a pinch This unassuming little fish is named after the island of Sardinia. Sardines are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which can help maintain a healthy heart. They are rich in calcium, vitamin D. Wash the fish in salty water. Place a frying pan on medium heat. Drizzle oil and pop some mustard seeds. When it starts to crackle, throw in the curry leaves, ginger, garlic and onions. Stir around until it shows a light brown tinge. Spoon in the powders and fry the mixture for a few minutes. Allow it to cool. To get a thick curry paste, blend this mixture with a few sprinkles of water. Place it again in the vessel and allow it to boil. Add sardines into the boiling juice. After that add the tamarind juice and salt. Allow it to cook on a medium flame for about 10 minutes.
