Ingredients
- Rice Basmati, washed and soaked for 30 minutes
- 750 g boneless fish fillets
- 2 large onions finely sliced
- Bunch of fresh dill
- Handful coriander leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 cup natural yoghurt
- 10 whole green chillies slit vertically
- 2 lemons juice
- 3 tbsp of oil
- Fried onion for garnishing
Masala (spice)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp red chilli
- 1 tbsp coriander
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried mango powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp green cardamom
- 1 tbsp fenugreek leaves (Methi)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ tsp carom (Ajwain) crushed
- ½ tsp clove powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix all the spice, lemon juice and garlic marinate the fish (I used tilapia fish fillet for this recipe) and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the onion slices and fry for 5 minutes, add the marinated fish, chillies and fry until oil separates from the masala, add in yogurt and stir for 2 mins gently and carefully to keep fillets from breaking apart, sprinkle over the chopped coriander, cover and cook until tender.
- In another cooking pan, pour in one tablespoon of oil and fry Dill for about 1 minute add water and salt, bring to boil and add the soaked rice, cook until is 85% done then drain.
- Transfer the fish to another plate, and add half the rice into the masala and evenly add the fish over it, then spread the second layer of rice, pour the fried onion all over cover and cook on low-heat until rice is ready.
- Serve hot and garnish with some fresh Dill and fried onion.
Notes
- Fish fillets are fragile and tend so avoid over stirring.
- Boneless fish is preferable
- You can use any fish of your choice I used Tilapia fillet
