I came to love zucchini because of a very close friend, Shubhra. While staying at their place I learned some tricks on preparing tasty vegetable meals. Originally prepared without the shrimp and tomato paste but for a different twist I added it. Try it and I hope you’ll like it too.

 

 

Ingredients:

 

1 tbsp. oil

1 onion, sliced

½ tsp. coriander powder

¼ tsp. chili powder

¼ tsp. turmeric powder

1 yellow and 1 green zucchini, sliced

10 to 15 pieces Peeled Shrimps

1 tomato, sliced

1 tsp. tomato paste (optional)

7 tbsp. water

Salt to taste

 

top: tomatoe and shrimps center: zucchini bottom: onions and combined powder of coriander, turmeric and chili

top: tomato and shrimps center: zucchini bottom: onions and combined powder of coriander, turmeric and chili

 

 

 

 

Method:

 

1.                Heat the oil in a preheated pan. Fry the onions till golden brown.

2.                Add the coriander, chili and turmeric powder. Stir for few seconds.

3.                Put the zucchini and stir for 3 minutes. Add the tomato, water and paste. Add salt and simmer for 10 minutes or till zucchini is cooked.

Fried Catfish

Fried Catfish

 

We were doing our usual grocery rounds and saw a pack of fresh catfish fillets. And so we thought, it has been a while since we last ate those and decided to buy. I was thinking of cooking it with curry but then I forgot to buy some coconut milk for the main ingredients and so I ended up frying them instead. And I was quite happy with the outcome. Hubby loved it!

 

Ingredients:

 

1.8 lbs. fillets farm-raised catfish

1 tsp. Salt

½ tsp. Ground pepper

1 tsp. Garlic powder

½ tsp. Chili powder

¼ cup All-purpose flour

Vegetable Oil

 

Method:

Fried Catfish Method 

 

1.     Clean and pat dry the fillets.

2.     Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder, coating evenly.

3.     Dredge fillets in All-purpose flour.

4.     Put 1 inch oil into a preheated pan over medium heat. Fry fish in batches for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.

 

3-4 Servings
