Fish with Fenugreek Leaves


INGREDIENTS


1 bunch chopped fresh methi leaves
½ bunch chopped Coriander leaves
2 medium onions chopped finely.
3 Catfish fillets/3 Medium Pomfrets sliced
1 tsp jeera
12 flakes of garlic (if very big flakes, please put less)
3 tomatoes (fresh, canned, or pureed)
1 tsp haldi powder+ 1 tsp for rubbing on fish
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp Maida(all purpose Flour)
1 cup water
Oil for frying fish and for cooking methi
Salt to taste

METHOD


For Fish Fry:
Wash the fish add haldi, salt and keep aside for 10 mins.
Fry the fish in a shallow frying pan until done and some dry masalas (red chilies and coriander powder). Keep aside.


For Methi Gravy:
Heat oil, add jeera, chopped onions and fry them till they begin to brown.
Add the washed and chopped methi leaves and cook till methi starts to brown.
Add coriander leaves, fry for few more mins.
Add garlic, haldi, red chili powder, coriander powder, Maida and tomatoes. Cook for about 10-12 mins until done.
Add water and cook for few more mins.
Note if you like it dry omit out the water. I like the gravy and therefore add water.
Now mix the fish and the cooked methi together.
Add some lime juice and serve hot with phulkas /parathas/ rotis.
