:: How to make Spicy Goa Fish
Cut the fish into pieces. Make a mixture of limejuice,
little turmeric and salt with
little water. Marinate the fish pieces in this mixture for
30 minutes. Then rinse
well.
Soak 1/2 tsp of tamarind pulp in 1/2 cup of hot water for
10 minutes. Strain and
reserve the liquid. Soak the red chilies in a cup of water
for 10 minutes. Strain
and reserve the water. Then grind the soaked chilies,
chili powder, onion,
coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic, turmeric powder and
grated coconut with
remaining 1 tsp tamarind pulp to make a smooth paste. Use
the chili soaked
water for grinding. It is very important that the paste
should be really smooth in
texture for this recipe.
Heat oil in a wide pan and fry the onions for 5 minutes.
Add the ground paste and
sauté for 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Add little water
if necessary. When the
oil begins to separate from the mixture add tomato, green
chili and salt and mix
well. Then pour 4 cups of water along with the tamarind
liquid and cook for 6-7
minutes. Now add the fish pieces and cook until they are
done. Garnish with
cilantro leaves and serve hot.
This is a very spicy dish.
