Salmon fry



I don't eat fish, and I can't stand the smell of fish when it's cooking. This dish was very easy to make, and I did not smell the fish while it was cooking. Also, it takes less than 10 minutes to cook, and does not require a lot of ingredients. My son loves fish, and I plan to make it often for him.



Salmon - 1 pound
Red chili powder - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Corn flour - 1 to 2 tbsp
Oil - 2 to 3 tbsp

Cut the fish into long strips or 4 inch pieces. Dust the fish with all the ingredients, except the oil and set aside.
In a flat bottom pan, heat the oil and add the fish. Do not crowd the pan.
Fry till golden brown and crisp on one side, turn and cook on the other side.
I fried the fish on all sides.
Serve with sliced onions and lemon wedges.

Bhel Puri

This is the 2nd post on Bhel on my blog. I noticed that that 1st one was a bit boring with no chutneys and just some ketchup and hot sauce. That's simple and good, but Bhel works best with Imli and Green Chutneys.


Ingredients:
Puffed Rice - 3 cups
Onion - 1
Tomato - 1
Cucumber - 1
Boiled and Peeled Potato - 1
Green chilis - 2
Cilantro - a few sprigs
Mixture/ Sev - 1/2 cup
Green Chutney - 3 tbsp
Hot sauce - 1 tbsp (Optional)
Date and Tamarind Chutney - 2 tbsp
Roasted Peanuts - 1/4 cup

Dry fry the puffed rice till it's crisp.
Chop all the veggies and mix together. Add the puffed rice, peanuts, the mixture and season with salt.
Add the chutneys and hot sauce and mix well.
Top with the cilantro and some more mixture. Serve immediately.
