Indian Fish Recipes
|
Here are some indian fish recipes. Starting off with a lovely fish curry recipe - which you can adapt for any fish of your choice.
Then a prawn byriani - which is a complete rice dish, either baked or cooked on the stove top with a vegetable curry.
Finishing off with a kedgeree - a rice and smoked haddock dish which traditionally has been served for breakfast, but makes a great lunch or supper.

Whilst your seafood byriani is cooking, you can make the vegetable curry sauce for your indian fish recipes.

1 tbspn oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 tbspn curry powder (to taste, check your tin)
1 tbspn tomato puree
1 pint (570ml) stock
small carton natural yoghurt
Boil the vegetables until just tender. Start with the potatoes and carrots and after about 5 minutes, add the beans, 2 minutes later the cauli and broccoli. A total of 10 minutes should be enough.

Indian Fish Recipes - Kedgeree
8 oz (250g) long grain rice
1lb (500g) smoked cod or haddock
2 oz (50g) butter
3 large hard boiled eggs
cayenne pepper
milk
Boil the rice in plenty of water until just tender. Rinse and place in a warm serving dish.
Whilst your rice is boiling, poach your smoked fish in milk. Remove the skin and bones and flake.
Stir this and the butter into the rice.
Put a pinch of cayenne pepper into a little milk and stir into the rice - the aim is to make it slightly wet.
Chop 2 of the hard boiled eggs and fold gently into the rice mixture. Slice the remaining egg and use to garnish the kedgeree.
