This is a lovely fish dish I made last night for a dinner party which is a Thai dish. Excellent! From a Nita Mehta cookbook on Thai cookery. Time does not include marination time.

250 g white fish fillets, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, chopped
1/2 cup chopped spring onion, plus
extra spring onion, for garnish
2 tablespoons fish sauce (I used soya sauce in its place)

1 1/2 teaspoons red chili paste or 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder (cayenne)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Marinate the fish in the ginger and garlic paste, salt and the lemon juice for a couple of hours.
  • Heat the oil in a wok and then saute the chopped ginger and garlic for 2 minutes.
  • Add the cayenne and the pepper powder.
  • Add the spring onions, salt, sauce and the fish.
  • Cook on high for 2 minutes.
  • Cover and simmer for another few minutes till the fish is cooked and the gravy dry.
  • You may have to cook uncovered to dry it up after a minute or so of covering it cooked.
  • Serve hot garnished with chopped cilantro and chopped spring onions too.
