on Sunday, September 28, 2008



Ingredients:

  • Fish-1lb
  • Tamrind -1 lemon size
  • Onion-1/2 (cut into large cubes)
  • corrainder leaves-few
  • Tomoto-1 medium(cut into large cubes)
  • Turmeric-little

Masala:

  • Onion-1 large

  • Red chillies-8(adjust to your spice level)
  • Garlic pods-3
  • jeera -1 spoon
  • Tomoto-1 medium size
    Cut onions length wise and saute them in tspoon oil,cool it down.Add above ingredients and grind it to smooth paste.

Seasoning:

  • Mustard seeds-1/2 tspoon
  • Red chilli pods-few
  • Curry leaves-few
  • oil -2 tbspoons

Preparation Method:

  • Soak tamrind in warm water and extract juice from it and keep aside.

  • Take a wide bottomed vessel on stove ,add oil and let it be hot.once it is hot add seasonings,onion cubes and tomoto cubes,fry them for a while.

  • Now add masala paste and fry it for 2 min and add tamrind juice to it.

  • Add turmeric powder ,salt as per taste and some water(if required) and let it boil for about 10 -15 min in medium flame with lid closed.
  • Now add fish pieces to the boiling pulusu and corriander leaves.

  • Switch of the stove once the fish is cooked.




If you dont like to add raw fish directly to pulusu,apply little bit salt and chilli powder to fish pieces ,fry them on a pan or microwave it for 5 min each side.

Or you can fry them in seasoning but this may result in breaking the pieces (depends on the kind of fish used)

Note:See that sour and salt tastes little bit more in pulusu before adding fish pieces (because once you add fish pieces the tastes will come down)

Same recipe can be used by adding boiled eggs also.

Vegetarians need not be worried.They can use same recipe substituting fish by paneer(home made)or by Bhendi.

If u use bhendi ,saute them in seasoning itself with one more tomoto .
