FISH KADHI

Hello and welcome to my cooking corner again. Today I am going to share a recipe of Fish Kadhi. I think it is a simple, fulfilling dish which is best served with plain rice. I made it today for my daughter, Ambika who is very fond of kadhis. It is really a good one to be had at lunch and I hope you will make it too. It can be made with any fish, preferably fillets but here I have used a fish called Shrimp Scad. So let’s start with it—

Ingredients:-

1. Shrimp Scad(or any other fish)-1
2. Gram Flour-50 gms
3. Curd-200 gms
4. Onion-1
5. Green Chillies-2
6. Salt-According to taste
7. Turmeric Powder-1/2 tsp
8. Red Chilly Powder-1/2 tsp
9. Asafoetida-A pinch
10. Coriander Powder-1/2 tsp each
11. Garam Masala-1/2 tsp

For the tempering:-

1. Cumin and Black Mustard-A pinch
2. Bay Leaf-1
3. Asafoetida-A pinch
4. Cinnamon-A small stick
5. Clove-2
6. Cardamom-1
7. Vegetable Oil-2 tbsp

STEPS

Step 1

Wash and marinate the fish with salt and turmeric powder. Finely chop the onion and green chilies. Take curd in a bowl and beat it well with a beater adding some water. Check the curd and see that if it is slightly tangy, add a pinch of sugar or if it is too fresh then mix in a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Take a pan and add all the tempering ingredients in it. Add finely chopped onion and green chilies and fry till onions are browned. Now add the spices that are, salt, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, coriander powder and lastly garam masala and saute for a minute. Then add gram flour and saute it also for half or one minute. Now add the beaten curd to the pan and keep stirring on a low or medium flame for two minutes. Let the kadhi simmer for two more minutes and then add the fish in it.

Our Fish Kadhi is done. Garnish it with chopped cilantro or kasuri methi. Serve it with steamed rice,potato-fenugreek stir fry, and some lemon wedges.
