Utilising Atomberg Mixer Grinder

Now it's time to unleash the power of the Atomberg Mixer Grinder. This mixer grinder comes equipped with a liquidising jar, dry grinding jar, chutney grinding jar and chopper jar. Its BLDC motor and smart jar detection make it the perfect companion for any culinary adventure. 

Let's see how it enhances your Fish Fry recipe.

  • Use the Atomberg Mixer Grinder with its Chutney grinding jar to crush two green chillies, 4-5 garlic cloves, and a small piece of ginger.
  • Utilise the Chopper jar to chop two onions finely.
  • In the Chutney grinding jar, make a smooth paste using one large tomato.

Cooking the Finger Licking Gravy

  • Heat oil in a pan and add one tablespoon of fennel seeds (saunf).
  • Once the seeds start to splutter, add the crushed garlic, ginger, and chilli paste. Fry until fragrant.
  • Add 5-6 curry leaves and the chopped onions to the pan. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
  • Sprinkle half a teaspoon of salt over the onions.
  • Now add the tomato paste and cook for approximately 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Adding Flavours

  • Once the gravy has cooked, add a pinch of turmeric powder, one teaspoon of chilli powder, two pinches of fenugreek powder, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and one tablespoon of garam masala. Mix well.
  • If you detect any raw smell, add 4-5 tablespoons of water to the gravy.
  • Soak 4-5 Malabar tamarinds in water and make a paste. Add this tangy paste to the gravy.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary.

Bringing it All Together

  • Add the marinated fish to the prepared gravy.
  • Garnish with 6-8 curry leaves on top and let it cook on medium heat until the fish absorbs the flavours and becomes tender.
  • Finish off with two tablespoons of thick coconut milk, chopped green chillies, and a final drizzle of coconut oil.
  • Allow everything to simmer on a medium flame for 6-7 minutes, ensuring the flavours harmoniously meld together.

Note: The quantities listed above are approximate measurements. Adjust according to your taste preferences.
