[tscii] Here Superspiczy a recipe from my old file.
Do try it.

SPICY FISH MASALA

Ingredients

3 slices of fish ( pomfret, salmon, or spanish mackerel, or any of your choice )
3 tbs coconut scrapings
1 tsp aniseed
3or 4 tsp of chilli powder,or more to taste
2 tsp thick tamarind juice, or more to taste
½ tsp tumeric powder
½ tomato chopped into tiny pieces
salt to taste
2 – 3 tbs oil or more

Method

Grind the coconut scrapings and aniseed to a fine paste. Remove the paste, add in the chilli powder,tumeric powder, thick tamarind paste, salt, and the chopped tiny pieces of tomatoes and mix well to form a paste.
Clean and wipe the fish slices. Apply the masala all over the fish, so that the masala is well evenly coated through out. Keep them aside for an hour or so.
Put a non stick pan on fire. ( It’s important , so that we get neat finished fish slices )
Add the oil , then add the fish slices on the pan and cook on slow fire. Let it brown nicely before turning on the other side. This not a deep fried fish, but we have to use oil a little bit more for the masala and the fish to be cooked..So add oil accordingly.

Note: After cooking ,you can put the fish pieces on a hot tosai kal to get a very dark brown finish, without burning the masala.
This spicy masala fish will be very tasty to eat with steaming rice.

[tscii] I owe this recipe to Selviem.
Selviem, we have mock mutton here which looks like mutton.
Since you said you do not get that stuff there, I tried with
soya chunks.
Here is the recipe>

SOYA MUTTON VARUVAL

Ingredients:
100 grms soya chunks boiled and washed many times.
½ tsp tumeric powder
1 tsp chillie powder
Little salt
Oil for frying

To marinate:
1 tbs ginger paste
1 tbs garlic paste
2 tsp chillie powder more if you like hot
½ tsp kas-kas powder
½ tsp aniseed powder
2 tbs curds
¼ tsp tumeric powder
Little thick soya sauce to give the mutton a dark look (optional)

To season:
1 inch cinnamon stick
3 cardamoms
1 star anise
½ tsp aniseed
½ tomato chopped very fine
1 onion chopped fine
1 sprig curry leaves
2 dry red chillies cut into pieces
1 tsp lime juice
2 tbs oil
Little coriander leaves to garnish

Method:
Add the chillie, tumeric and salt to the boiled squeezed soya.
Semi fry them in oil.
Then add all the things under “marinate” and marinate for about 2 hours

Heat oil in a wok, add the aniseed, cinnamon stick, cardamoms,
And star anise. Let the spices splutter.
Now add the onions and sauté until golden brown. Add in the dry chillies and the curry leaves.
Now add the tomatoes and cook till turns mushy.
Now add in the soya chunks and cook till the spices are well cooked.
You have to keep stirring to see that it will not stick on the wok.
It will come like mutton dry varuval. Taste for salt
Sprinkle the lime juice, garnish with the cut coriander leaves.
Remove and serve.

Dev nga...how do i get to this index? plz help...................thank u nga in advance...ipadiku..................s

kugan,
thank u so much for ur message as well as giving us a wonderful soya mutton varuval. It is so tempting, i showed the picture to my son, he told his mouth is watering. He is after me to prepare this.
kugan i have a doubt, initially u told to semi fry soya chunks, is it deep fry or shallow fry. After ur response, surely i will try it.
Also, i love veggies . i am enjoying all ur receipes.
U r doing a great job.

Dev nga.............i have located the "INDEX"
:-)
thank u for doing that for us....its much more simpler to navigate the desired recipe.

Dear kugan,

I tried the soya milk curd and it came out very well.

thanks & take care
