Tawa Fry Masala Pomfret-The taste of the SEA

-

 POMFRET is one of the yummilicious fishes in India. It is rich in Calcium, Vitamin B12 and Iodine. Thus good for our nervous system, healthy skin and hair growth. Well, Pomfret is also known as "Butterfish" as it contains some good fats like Omega 3 fatty acids that is vital for cardio vascular health.

Having said so, today I will be giving a short and crisp super easy recipe of Tawa fry Pomfret, blended with spices giving a juicy light texture, sweet flavour and delectable taste. 

For a serving of 2-4 persons:

1. Masala Preparation: 25 grams Corinder leaves, 1 teaspoon ginger paste, 1 teaspoon garlic paste,1 teaspoon Aamchur powder,  3 onions, 3-4 green chillies, 2 teaspoons salt. Blend them in the mixer grinder. Add 50 grams of curd and 7-8 drops of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon turmeric and 1 table spoon garam masala to the masala and set aside.

2. Fish Preparation: 2-4 pomfret fishes (whole). I have cut off the head as it looks a bit clean. Add lemon juice (25 ml), turmeric and salt. Boil the fish in water for 2- 3 minutes. We get a gently cooked fish.
Make gashes around the body of the Pomfret so that the masala can be absorbed. The masala needs to be covered top down the whole fish for getting the perfect taste. The marinated fishes need to be kept aside for 20 minutes for better flavour and taste of the dish.

3. Fry: Shallow fry the fishes one by one in Extra virgin Olive oil till golden.


 You can have the Pomfrets hot with salad and curd or dip the fish in Mayo to get that heavenly taste of the ambrosial dish!😋😋

A Trek to Remember- Embracing a Journey of Discovering Nature!!

 Life is an amazing one. Just like the sun rising and setting every day our life goes on sometimes full of highs and sometimes full of lows. In between these highs and lows, homo sapiens tend to get out of the mundane routine- breathing in the calmness to heal the soul, while breathing out the daily responsibilities of ordinary life. Ramanagara trek was a desperate attempt to beat the humdrum and tedious office work and soak into the tranquility. All kudos to the VMware India Employee Engagement team for planning a trekking event to Ramanagara for the employees of VMware to peel away the layers of boredom and bond outside the workplace. There were around 800 colleagues who registered for the event within 2 days and around 130 were the lucky first batch to the wild freedom. And I was one of them! 1 st July, the day of the trek, I woke up bright and early and headed to the office. The excitement of the trek with office friends was giving me chills. We started at 7 and were handed ou

Gardening-An art of Delight

Being born and brought up in the suburbs of the city, from my early childhood I wake up to the birds chirping, Koel singing around and the lush green plants round the house.  Gardening has become my kinda hobby nowadays although still a novice and most of the part is always managed by our Gardening Queen-Ma.  I love pretty flowers and lovely Ornamental plants that can be easily managed by adding some amount of water and a bit of sunlight everyday.  As there is a little space in the front area of our house, the balcony of one of our bedroom has been a perfect place for some pretty ornamental plants and flowers  There also has been some new additions- Snake Plant, Peace Lily, Money Plant, Aglaonema which I feel will add to some more vibrant colours to the balcony. As the gardening season is at its full bloom,in the back courtyard, the lemon plant and the papaya plant have started bearing fresh fruits! The red Ixora locally known as Rangan  has its own vibrancy in our back patio Love how

Girl Child- A boon to the society?

Amidst all chaos in life, today I felt to write on an occasion that I was a part of. It was a seven months "Baby Shower" ceremony of a couple who are a very good neighbor of mine. I was invited to their house party. It was a small function with their own family members of the would be father's parents, his sister, sister's kids and his wife (the would be mother). Since I am their neighbor, the only outsider they have invited in this COVID situation, naturally to make me feel a part of their family they were very busy with providing me food, sweets, clicking pictures, the kids were playing with me.  I also thought of clicking few pictures of them thus took out my DSLR and started clicking pictures. They started posing, changed dresses and again posed. I was delighted to see the old parents caring so much for their daughter in law, which is very difficult to see in Indian households. The would be father suddenly brought few hand made props and asked every one to pick on
