“Pomfret Recheado” is a fish dish from the state of Goa. Recheado means stuffed in Portughese. This is a recipe shred by one of my Goan friend, Adele.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Clean and cut the head and tail from the pomfret and make sure to thoroughly clean it form the inside.Wash and pat it dry. Make a few slits on both sides of the fish and rub it with some lemon juice and salt. Leave aside for 5 minutes.
- In a blender, make a paste of the vinegar, red chillies, ginger, garlic, pepper, turmeric, sugar, cumin, salt and tamarind.
-
Rub this paste over and inside the fish well. Keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
- Heat a thick bottom pan with oil. Mix in the semolina and flour together. When the oil is smoking hot, dip the fish in the flour on both sides and put it on the pan. You might want to cover the pan as the oil tend to splutter. Fry the fish on one side without turning for about 4 to 5 minutes and then turn and fry on the other side till it is crispy brown. Serve warm.
