Salmon Chilli


Salmon chilli /Salmon masala is what i like to call this dish..This is one of my friends recipe,who 's great cook.She cooks everything so quickly and ofcourse very tastely.I met here in seattle during last winter.Happen to stay at her place for about a week .It was a wonderful time with a new friend ,in a new place with sumptous foods.Coming back to dish,this is not a chinese dish.'S' call it as Indian Style Fish chilli. Consuming salmon is considered to be reasonably healthy due to the fish's high protein, low fat, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D.Seafood lovers like me would definietly enjoy having this variety dish...
Ingredients...
Salmon cut in to small pieces - 1 pounds
Chopped Onions - 3
Tomatoes chopped - 2
Ginger Garlic paste - 4 tsp
Green Chillies chopped - 6
Coriander powder - 3 tsp
Red Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Yogurt - 1/2 cup
Garam Masala powder- 1 tsp
(I use a blend of 1 nutmeg, 1 1/2 tsp green cardamom pods, 4 " cinnamon sticks, 1 Tbsp whole cloves, 1 tsp peppercorns & 1 tsp cumin seeds all ground together )
Cilantro chopped- 1/2 cup
Salt - to taste
Oil - 2tsp
Extra oil for shallow frying Fish
For the marinade...
Red chilly Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tspSalt - to taste
Make a smooth paste with all the ingredients for the marinade adding little water and keep it aside.
Method...

Add 1tsp lime juice and 1/4tsp of turmeic powder in 1 cup of water and immerse the fish pieces in it for about 5 minutes,to reduce that fishy smell.Then take it out of the water and pat dry with tissue.Gently marinate the fish pieces in the prepared marinade for 30 minutes.Then Shallow fry fish pieces and keep aside.
Heat oil in a big pan .Add chopped onion and fry until translucent,then add ginger,garlic and green chillies and saute it for 5-6 minutes.Add in coriander powder,turmeric powder, chilly powder and fry for a while.Mix in yogurt and saute it until oil seperates.Add garam masala powder and salt,stir and add chopped tomatoes.Cook until tomatoes turn soft,and add fried fish pieces.Mix well and cook for about 20 minutes in low heat,stirring in between.Finally add chopped coriander ,cook for 5 more minutes and remove from heat.
