1-2 cup of lemon juice
1-2 tb fish sauce
1 tbs of sugar
2-5 sliced fresh chillies
2-3 cloves sliced garlic
1 sliced finger red chili
coriander for deco

In a mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, sugar, fish sauce, chillies and garlic. Whisk nicely. Prepare the fish in a platter. Pour the sauce. Steam the fish for 15-20 mins. Test before removing from steamer Deco with red chilli and chopped fresh coriander leaves Eat with steamed hot rice.

Thanks Caryn...I think I would definitely enjoy this recipe. Bawal Putih or White Promfret would be absolutely delicious. I usually add ginger julienne to get rid of fishy smell...😳 Tauchoo/fermented soya bean paste is always at standby....😆😆😆

Try this for a change.

RAVA IDLI

Ingredients:
1 cup rava
1 tbs ghee
2 tbs oil
5 green chillies grind to a paste
1 cup of sour curds
cup finely chopped onions
1 tbs each of chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves
tsp of baking soda
Salt to taste

For seasoning:
tsp mustard seeds
tsp urad dal
1 tsp channa dal

For decorating:   ( optional )
1 tbs of finely grated carrot
1 tbs of grated coconut

Method:
Dry roast the rava with the tbs of ghee.
When cool, mix with the curds, see that no lumps.
Heat oil in a pan, add the seasonings, and the
Onions and saut. Now add it to the rava mixture.
Also add in the salt, chillie paste, salt, the baking soda
the curry leaves and coriander leaves.
Mix nicely, oil the idli plate pour the mixture and
Steam it.
To decorate, after oiling the idli plate, sprinkle little
Grated carrot and coconut before pouring the idli batter.
Do not keep the mixed batter for a long time, for the
Rava will swell in the curds and you will get a soggy
( moluk moluk ) idli.
Serve it hot with coconut or any chutney of your choice.

Thanks Kavi for rawa iddli. Is this iddli known as Kanchipuram Iddli too? My fren told me her mum makes rawa iddlis that are white like our normal iddlis which has urad dal added too and left to fermentate as per normal. I have yet to eat her rawa iddli.....😳

Sue akka thanks for your nice compliments.
You will not get any smell, for you will be adding, green chillie paste, coriander leaves, curry leaves, onions and all the other spices

To my knowledge, kaancheepuram idli is entirely different from rava idli.
Let me cook and post another day.
