Chilly Fish



I had few salmon fillets in my freezer, and was wondering what to do with it. Since salmons are not much familiar here, no body liked it and said, it has a biscuit taste! A friend told making curry with salmon fish will taste good, but I postponed it for the next time, and just tried a chilly fish with the usual chilly chicken ingredients and it was worth , all the fillets disappeared! :) I used the same method to finish the leftover canned sardines after the roti canai event..:D

Ingredients and how to prepare
Fish fillets 6
onion 1
green chillies 2
ginger 1/2 " piece chopped
lemon juice 1/2 tsp
garlic paste 1 tsp
ginger paste 1 tsp
curry leaves few chopped
coriander leaves chopped few
soya sauce 1 tbsp
chilli sauce 2 tsps
tomato sauce 2 tbsps
pepper powder 1 or 2 tsps
chilli powder 1 tsp
corn flour 2 tsps
salt
oil

Cut fish fillets into small pieces. Marinate them with garlic and ginger paste, salt, pepper powder,chilli powder ,lemon juice ,half of the soya sauce and cornflour. Keep for half an hour. Shallow fry them. Chop onion and cut green chillies. Heat oil,(use the remaining oil used for frying ) saute onion, green chillies, curry leaves and ginger together for some time. Don't saute too much. Add fried fish, remaining soya sauce, chilli sauce and tomato sauce. Mix well, after adding coriander leaves remove from fire.
You can try this with prawns too.
