This is another of those salmon experiments we liked. Recently we started buying Salmon from Costco. It is quite cheaper there compared to Whole Foods (where we do all our grocery shopping). I buy a big piece, cut into smaller pieces and freeze them into individual bags. Some days I just make this dish and a salad for dinner.
Aayi prepares this green fish using Mackerel (bangda) or king fish (Ishwan/Visonu/Surmai) or some other fish available in India. I add a little bit of mint if I have it on hand. This is Ishaan’s favorite fish dish.
Ingredients: 1 lb salmon 6-7 strands of coriander leaves 7-8 leaves of mint (optional) 2 green chillies 1 tea spn chopped ginger 1 tea spn chopped garlic 2 tbl spns lemon juice Oil 2 tbl spn rice flour 1 tbl spn sooji Salt
Method: Cut Salmon in 2 x 2 inch pieces. Make a smooth paste of coriander leaves(you can also include a handful of mint leaves), green chillies, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt. Apply the paste to fish pieces and leave it refrigerator for few hours. Heat a tava and spread some oil. On a plate, mix rice flour and sooji. Roll the fish pieces in rice flour-sooji mixture. Shallow fry on hot tava till the fish is cooked through. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
Serves: 2-3 Preparation time : 20mins

Lately, I have been very busy. Busy work days, busy evenings trying to keep a toddler entertained and then if I still have any energy left, I work from home. I have missed updating this place. Today I realized that it has been more than 2 weeks since I posted here. So I thought I have to post something, before I totally lost the touch.
This dosa is inspired by my aayi’s ganva polo (wheat flour dosa). She makes it for dinner on Panchami – when my parents don’t eat rice for dinner and make something with wheat. V is a big fan of ganva polo and keeps asking for it. I recently started making it regularly since Ishaan also enjoys it. I changed the traditional recipe to add rice flour and a seasoning to it.
Ingredients: 1 cup wheat flour 2 tbl spns rice flour (optional) 2 tbl spns fresh/frozen coconut Oil Salt
Seasoning (optional): 1/2 tea spn mustard seeds 4-5 curry leaves
Method: Mix wheat flour, rice flour, coconut, salt and water. Make it quite watery. Heat oil add mustard seeds, curry leaves. Add the seasoning to the batter. Heat tava and spread dosa. Cook from both sides. Serve hot.
