Meen Pachakkurumulaku Cherthu Pollichathu / Fish Roasted Using Green Pepper Corns

Meen pollichathu , may be every non vegetarian's delight, which has got a top place in the five star menu. Fish marinated in a spicy, tangy, thick masala, wrapped in banana leaf and placed in greased earthern wares (manchatty) and cooked in that. There are lots of different recipes for making meen pollichathu, some says to fry fish slightly on both sides before wrapping banana leaves. I tried to make it using the recipes collected from magazines, especially with green pepper corns, which are so spicy. I haven't used banana leaves for making this and shallow fried it using very little oil.



Ingredients for making
fish fillets 4 medium size
small onions 4
garlic pearls 8 small size
ginger 1 " size
green chilly 8
green pepper few or pepper powder as per taste
lemon juice 1/2 lemon
curry leaves few
salt
coconut oil 1 tsp
oil for frying



How I fried them
Take ingredients more or less according to the size of the fish fillets.
Make a paste of all,marinate fish fillets with it.
Shallow fry them in little oil.
Cook covered on a low flame.
