and Chips Recipe with step-by-step photos

Fish and chips are a type of food that originated in the United Kingdom. It is a popular fast food option in various parts of the world. As the name suggests, the dish consists of chips (French fries) and a deep-fried fish fillet. In England and Wales, fish and chip shops and restaurants are widely available. 

They are commonly found in British cities, with the first fish and chip shop opening in the East End of London in the late 19th century. Therefore, they are not as traditional as many people believe.

 

Fried fish is coated in batter, deep-fried, and served with potato chips, often accompanied by various sauces.

                                 

A Brief History:

Fish and chips gained popularity when the meal helped feed the masses during the First World War. And since fish and potatoes were two of only a few foods not rationed in WWII,

The traditional dish maintained its status. Today, there are about 11,000 fish and chips shops throughout the UK and Ireland, so finding a chippie (a fish and chip shop) is usually easy. Fish and chip shops are now also around the world, including a few shops in New York City, and are especially popular in coastal regions of Spain.

Everyone has their own preferences, and tastes vary from one part of the country to another. Their cooking method is quite different from ours so here I did some variations and tried to give it to Pakistani taste, which is even acceptable for all they don’t use many spices except black peppercorn, while we people can’t enjoy unless the food is not a bit spicy. 

So today I tried to do my best that bring some changes to the recipe I am using Reho Fillet you can use any type of fish that you most like but take care of it Fish should be fresh because stale fish can spoil the real taste of fish I will also tell you in my recipe that how to make crispy frying potato chips, so let’s start step by step with photos...

Firstly, remove all large potato skins and cut them into ½-inch thick chips in a strip shape, then rinse all potato chips.

In a separate bowl, pour chilled water and salt, mix them together, then soak all potatoes in the water. It helps to get rid of excess starch from potatoes and makes fries crispy. Keep aside

On the other hand, cut the fish fillet into broad strips. Mean that you cut the 1 fish fillet into 2 pieces vertically, transfer it to the large bowl, add wheat flour and 2 tbsp water.

Rub all fish fillets very gently with wheat flour, and leave them for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, rinse all the fish fillets under running water, then sprinkle turmeric powder and rub them again. Then again, rinse all the fish fillets under the running water
From this method, the smell goes away from the fish
Shift it to another mixing bowl

Now add spices to the fish, then keep it in the fridge for marination for about 10 minutes. Another medium bowl for making fish batter.

Before making batter, place a wok on the stove, then pour oil and heat it on low-medium flame.

In a bowl, add all dry powder spices, mix them together, whisk the egg separately, and then pour it into the dry mix ingredients, mixing them well with the whisk.

Now, pour chilled water little by little as needed.d
Note: Batter consistency should not be too thick nor too thin. Keep batter back in the fridge 

Drain out all potatoes from the water. Blanch potatoes for 10 minutes in the hot boiling water for 10 minutes This helps the potatoes to cook slightly and hastens the process of frying fries.

Drain the potatoes out of the water and pat them dry with a paper towel; excess water prevents crispiness.

Use paper towels to blot away as much water from the outside of the potatoes as you can. Now sprinkle some salt and cornflour into the potatoes, and slide all french fries carefully into the hot oil. Let them fry over medium-hot oil flame for 2 minutes, and drain out from the oil.

Allow them to cool completely before the potatoes. 

Note: At this stage, you can freeze them in a ziplock bag, and when you want to fry, just take them out and deep fry them.

In the second fry, fry on high flame till potatoes turn brown and crispy. Once the French fries turn a crispy golden color, drain them from the oil.

Place on a paper kitchen towel to remove excess oil. Crispy French Fries are ready.

In the same wok, pour oil to heat it well. Take 1 fish fillet to coat it with chilled batter and slowly slide it into the hot oil.
Not as hot as frying pakora oil; if the oil is too hot, you will not get a flaky crust of fish.

You need to adjust the gas flame throughout the frying process to maintain the temperature of the oil and make sure the oil doesn’t get too hot. After some time,e they will float on top during the frying process, turning occasionally for an even a nice golden brown. You can see the nice golden brown color start appearing on top of the fish.

Place on a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil

Now ready to hot serve with French fries and tamarind sauce, the green sauce of your family

Tomato Fish Curry Recipe

Tomato Fish Curry | Tomato Fish with step-by-step photos.

This fish curry is a thick, spicy, and aromatic seafood dish, a fairly easy and delicious thick gravy curry. Spicy tomato fish curry is my own version, inspired by my family. I remember those days when my grandmother used to cook it with plain rice.

 

You would have eaten several types of tomato fish, but this one has a taste different from other fish curry recipes. Since I started learning to cook with my mother and elder sister, I noticed they always added very few spices, yet the meals were full of flavor and aroma. Personally, I have always loved seafood, and fish has always been my favorite.

                         

Right there, I even learned that a meal never goes well by adding more spices; using a few species will make your meal tastier than other spicy food.

Here I used mushka small fish to make curry, I prefer small fish to a big one, just because this is more delicious and tasty than big, and the upper part of fish is the best for making gravy-based curry, but not necessary that you use the same fish you can use any other type of fish whether they are big or small as desired .

So let's begin 

Tips:

1. To prepare this delicious seafood curry, first we will have to thoroughly rinse the fish with flour and turmeric so that the smell of fish goes away. 
2. Note, in my previous post on the fried fish recipe, have told you how to wash fish; you can find it on my blog.
3. Before cooking, the fish curry must be lightly fried.  
4. Don't stir the spoon after adding fish to the gravy, or they may shred
5. Just shake up the pot 
6. Mustard oil can make your fish curry taste better than other cooking oils 
7. Fish contain minerals, vitamins, and iron. This is the reason never use more salt, as it may be bitter in taste 
8. Use a large capacity pot/pan while cooking fish curry 
9. Fish pieces won't break
