Salmon Curry

Its almost a month that we haven't had non veg because of Christmas fast , I was craving to have some fish.

Salmon is  one of the  most available fish in the United States and  this is one fish I haven't even heard of , in India , though Salmon is very much consumed in other Asian Countries. 

Have read many articles stating Salmon as one among the Super fish , because of its high Omega3 in it.

I , all the time fry salmon or Bake it - that's the best option , but then to match the Malayali taste, we prepare it like this one here , its good with Rice. I have learned that the fat in most living organisms are seen as a layer beneath the skin , when cooked with the skin we make use of 99 % benefits from it , the rest 1% is a question mark...... 

Ingredients 

For  Shallow Frying 

Salmon Fish - I used 2 fillets (cleaned and sliced in to medium size) 

Turmeric Powder - 1 tsp

Chili Powder - 2 tsp

Vinegar - 2 tsp

Oil - 3 table spoon approx 

Salt to taste.

For the gravy/ Sauce 

Onion - 1 medium chopped 

Tomato - 1 medium chopped

Ginger and Garlic - crushed 1 tsp each 

Curry leave - a few leaves 

Fenugreek Powder - 1/4 tsp (optional)

Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp

Chili Powder - 1 table spoon (or less)

Salt to taste.

Method 

* Marinate the fish slices with the ingredients under frying for 10 -15 minutes.

*Heat oil in a Pan and shallow fry the fish and keep aside.

I know the skin doesn't look glamorous , discard'em if you don't like having the skin.

* In the same pan with the fried oil , add the ginger , garlic , chopped onion and curry leaves and saute till all are cooked well or till the onion looks more than golden brown.

* Add in the chopped tomatoes and saute till the oil starts to separate, add in the powders one by one (Chili Powder , Turmeric Powder and the Fenugreek Powder & salt )

* Saute well and add the fried fish to it , followed by 1/2 a cup of water (poured water first on to the dish in which the fried fish was placed)  and cook till it starts to boil , switch off the heat

Enjoy !!

Did you know Salmon is one of the SECRETS for a healthy and longer life of Japanese People.
