Pomfret is a fish that i haven't eaten ever but cook it a lot coz this is one of husbands favourite fish. You could just give him a pomfret fry and dal-rice and he would be a happy soul. But the creative bug in me dosent let me do so. I like to marinate the fish in some simple spices and then grill it most of the times. Here is the recipe for "Char grilled Pomfret " - ideally should be done on a coal grill but since that's not possible always i just bake it in an oven or you could simply shallow fry in a pan as i did today as i was super pressed for time.
Ingredients :
Pomfret fish - 2 whole fish
Spring onions - a handful chopped
Coriander leaves - a handful chopped
Tamarind paste - 1 tsp
Dry red chili - 2 nos
Garlic - 2-3 pods
Turmeric powder - 1tsp
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Method :
Clean the fish ,make slits on both sides of the fish, rub salt and turmeric and keep aside for 5 mins.
For the marinade :
Grind together - spring onion, coriander leaves, dry red chillies, garlic, tamarind paste and 1 tbsp olive oil together into a coarse paste.
Marinate the fish in this mixture for half an hour.
Take a non stick pan , add 1 tbsp olive oil , once the oil heats up properly add the fish along with the marinade and fry evenly on both sides till the masala mixture gets a charred ( not burnt )texture.
Alternatively, grease a baking tray with olive oil and bake the fish at 250 C for half and hour.
