FISH FRY

Many people thinks for fish fry need to add so much ingredients or masalas but no need to add many ingredients and with a few, basic ingredients we can make fish fry. I learned this simple fish fry recipe from one of my family friend, in this weekend  I tried this fish fry recipe. It turns out very well. The taste was too good… If you are making fish fry for kids, then select the fish with less bones like salmon, raa, cat fish .  I used Rohu fish for frying. Have this fish fry with sambar, this is an awesome combination. Try once this combination, then you want to eat again and again. :)

Rohu fish fillets  :   4 pieces

Salt to taste

Red chilli powder : 3 tsps or according to your spicy level

Turmeric  :   1tsp

Oil for deep frying

Clean fish pieces and keep it aside.  Take a wide bottomed bowl and add salt, redchilli powder, turmeric and add 1tsp of oil and mix these ingredients.  Dip fish pieces in this mixture and nicely spread the mixture on both sides of fish. Keep fish pieces in fridge for 24hrs. Don’t keep in freezer.  After 30 mins of  marination you can fry your fish, but if you keep this marinated fish in fridge for 24hrs, the taste would be too good.

Next day take the fish pieces from refrigerator and directly deep fry in oil. No need to add any ingredients. Garnish with coriander leaves.  Simple and fabulous fish fry ready to serve.

SUNNUNDALU OR URAD DAL LADOOS 

Old is gold… A perfect word for sunnundalu or urad dal laddos. Sunnundalu is very nutritious dish for all age groups especially for growing children and pregnant ladies. It’s a classic Andhra dish. When we heard sunnundalu every one remembers their childhood sweet memories. In every house, mom prepares sunnundalu for their kids. So i can tell it as mom’s recipe.

Sunnudalu is made easy with only four main ingredients. It takes 15 to 20 mins for preparation, can keep these laddos for 20 days.

WHAT YOU NEED :


Urad dal : 1 glass

Rice : 1/5 glass

Sugar : 1 glass

Elachi : 2

Ghee for making laddos.


HOW TO MAKE :


In a wide bottomed pan roast the urad dal on a low flame by stirring continuously. When roasting urad dal nice aroma will come from that and add rice to it and stir it, roast it until both of them gets light golden brown colour. Then remove it from heat and keep aside and let it cool. When we add rice to this, urad dal won’t stick in the mouth and it will melt in the mouth.

In the same pan add 2 tsps of ghee and add cashew nuts and almond pieces, fry it and keep it aside.

First grind this urad dal & rice into coarse powder, when grinding add 2 elachi also.

Then add sugar to that powder & grind well.

Take the powder into a bowl and add fried nuts and enough ghee for making small lemon sized laddos.

The mouth watering sunnundalu is ready.

EGG & PANEER FRANKIE

Take 1 cup of  wheat flour and add some salt & water, knead it into a soft dough. Cover it with wet cloth and keep it aside.  Normally frankies can be made with all purpose flour, but I prefer wheat flour. Making frankies with wheat flour is healthy.

For stuffing  :

Take kadai and add 2tsps of oil and add finely chopped ginger & garlic pieces. Then add finely chopped onions, green chillies, little salt  & turmeric. Sought out them until it gets colour. Add tomato pieces, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and add little water and stir it well. Cook it for 4 mnts. Then add paneer cubes or chopped paneer pieces to it and mix well. Add finely chopped coriander leaves and mix it.

Making Frankies :

Take the dough and knead it again and make small sized balls and roll it into a thin sheet.   Take tava and place a roti on tava and cook on a medium flame until both sides turn light brown colour using 1tsp of oil or butter. Take a egg and whisk it and add little salt to egg and pour on the roll and spread it.

 Turn the other side also, fry it a minute and remove from tava.

Take the roll on a plate and place the stuffing on one end of the roti and spread evenly. Add  onion slices, tomato slices, Crushed cheese or small cheese pieces.

Fold the edges and roll the Frankie and serve it hot.
