Schezwan Fish

We love Chinese cuisine. Everyone in my family does. Hubby, who wasn't a fan of Chinese dishes earlier now adores them. Eating nutrient rich food does not mean sacrificing on taste. We are all looking on new ideas to eating healthy, home cooked meals, without going on a diet .Sea food has amazing nutritional value that can significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity. It is protein rich, gives us strength and energy and has a good satiety factor. Off late, it has become our first choice for a value based meal. So, don’t hesitate to treat your family to the myriad sea food available and eat your way to longevity!

Boneless fish or fish fillets are so easily available in the market now without hefty price tags. They have replaced the usual fish fries that we would serve in parties as they are not as cumbersome as whole fish to eat. Besides this quality, they are soft and spongy thus making it an amazing starter for a party meal.

This Chinese type Schezwan fish is mildly flavored with a dipping sauce made at home. It is easy to prepare and can be called a meal in itself. Scrumptious and finger-licking is what I would call it.



INGREDIENTS:

200 gms boneless fish cut into finger shapes or strips or squares
1/4 cup All purpose flour
1/4 cup corn flour
2 green chillis
1 tsp coriander leaves
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp ajinamotto
1/2 tsp sugar
Salt to taste



For sauce:

1 tsp ginger chopped or powdered

1 p ginger chopped or powdered
1 tsp green chilli chopped
1 tsp coriander leaves

1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp tomato sauce
2 tsp soya sauce (optional)
Salt to taste

1/2 tsp pepper



HOW TO MAKE:

1) Marinate fish fillets in salt for 10-15 minutes.


2) Mix all the sauce ingredients together well and keep aside.


3) Prepare a batter out of batter ingredients. Use enough water if needed. The consistency of the batter should be of dipping consistency.. not too thick and nor too thin.


4)  Heat oil in a wok . Dip these fillets in the batter and deep fry them till golden brown.

5) Serve deep fried fish along with the sauce separately in a bowl.
