Sea bream is a common fish of the Atlantic. I have seen it in the supermarket many times but only got the courage to try it after Jasmin chechi recommended it few weeks ago. Sea bream got a soft white flesh with little bones which makes them a favourite among kids.
Ingredients:
Sea bream- 1
Curry leaves - few
Oil- To shallow fry
lemon juice- From 1/2 medium sized lemon
For the marinade
Chilli powder- 2 tablespoon
Turmeric powder-1/2 teaspoon
Ginger garlic paste- 1 tablespoon
Shallots- 3
Black pepper- 1/2 tablespoon
Garam masla- 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves- few
Salt- to taste
For Frying/decoration
Carrots- 2 medium sized
Onion- 1
Green chillies- 2
Preparation:
Mix all ingredients under the marinade and put in a food processor make a fine paste out of it. Add lemon juice to the mixture and keep aside.
Clean the fish by removing scales, gills and all the visceral organs. make lots of gashes all over the fish and wash very well. I use turmeric powder and salt to wash the fish to get rid of the "fishy" smell to an extent. marinate the fish with the prepared marinade and keep it in the kitchen couter for atleast 2 hours.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan just enough to shallow fry the fish. Add curry leaves to the oil once it is hot and place the fish over the bed of curry leaves. Fry the fish gently in low flame for a maximum of 10 minutes turning the fish halfway through. Remove the fish and keep in a kitchen towel to drain the oil.
Add the chopped onions, carrot and green chilies to the oil used to make the fish fry and sauté until it gets cooked. Add this to the fried fish.
