Hot and Spicy Sea Bass

Thursday, April 8, 2010


Any type of firm fish will work well for this recipe.

Ingredients:
Sea bass filets – 4 (cut into cubes)
Soy sauce – 2 tbsp
Worcestershire sauce – 1 tsp
Red chili powder – 1 tbsp
Cumin powder – 1 tbsp
Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
Corn flour – 1 ½ tbsp
Garlic cloves – 5-6 (minced)
Grated ginger – 1 tbsp
Scallions – 2 (sliced)
Serrano chili – 2 (chopped)
Yogurt – ¼ cup (beaten smooth and seasoned with salt and pepper)
Fresh chopped cilantro – 2 tbsp
Lemon wedges – for garnish
Salt – to taste
Cooking oil

Procedure:
In a mixing bowl add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red chili powder, cumin powder and lemon juice to the fish cubes and marinate for 15-20 minutes.

After 20 minutes coat the cubes with corn flour.

Meanwhile heat a skillet with oil. Now fry the fish cubes until they are browned evenly on all sides. Set aside.

Now in the same pan (add oil if necessary), fry the garlic, ginger and Serrano chili.

Next add the fried fish cubes.

Now add the beaten yogurt and coat the fish pieces well. Let the yogurt dry up. (If you want some gravy don’t let the yogurt dry up completely.)

When the yogurt is almost dry add the sliced scallions. Cook for a minute or so and remove from heat.

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, chopped green chili and lemon wedges and serve hot.

Great as a snack food or as a side with fried rice.
