TOMATO FISH

I had few Beckti (Bhetki) fish fillets left in my fridge since few days. So last night for dinner, I thought of making tomato fish with those left over fish fillets. As the name suggests, the base of the gravy is mainly tomato, and the other ingredients required for this recipe can be found at any house at any moment.

INGREDIENTS

Beckti fish  4 fillets

Tomato puree 1 cup

Tomato minced 1 no.

Tomato ketchup 2 tsp

Chopped green chilli 2 no.

Onion chopped 1/2medium sized onion

Garlic chopped 10 cloves

Ginger paste 2 tsp

Grated Cheese 1tbsp

Fresh Cream  1tbsp

Lemon juice 3 tsp

Roasted Carom Seeds Powder 2tsp

Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp

Maida (Refined Flour) 4 tbsp

Cornflour 2 tbsp

Egg 1 no.

METHOD

Marinate the fish fillets with lemon juice, garlic paste,  roasted carom seeds powder, ginger paste for 1 hr.

Make a batter with egg, cornflour and maida. Add a little salt to it. Dip the marinated fish fillet into the batter and deep fry them. Keep aside. Now for the gravy, take a pan, saute garlic, onion, green chilli and ginger. Add chopped tomato, turmeric powder and cook for sometime. Then add the tomato puree and cook till the raw smell of tomato fades away. Add seasoning and the fresh cream. Pour this gravy over the fried fish and sprinkle grated cheese from above. Now microwave this for about 15 mins with lid covered.
