Food For Taut – Baked Tilapia & Turnip Greens

(Recipe of Baked Tilapia & Side of Turnip Greens)Heyo!! Back with another recipe in the ‘Food For Taut’ Segment.

We are making Baked Tilapia & a side of Turnip Greens. The recipe is very simple and quick to make.
Tilapia is a very healthy option for dinner. Not only is it high in protein but also is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which provides essential nutrients for our health. Most importantly, at least for me, it tastes simply delicious!

 

Here is the recipe for Baked Tilapia. It requires very basic ingredients which you can easily find in your kitchen.
I served it with a simple side of turnip greens ( Recipe courtesy of Mr. Varun Govande ) which made it a wholesome meal.

 

This is all you need-

For the Baked Fish-

*Cayenne Pepper is preferred but you can substitute it with Paprika or Red Chili Powder.


For the Turnip greens-
 
  • Turnip Greens- 2 bunches
  • Minced Garlic– 1 tbsp
  • Vinegar – 1 tsp
  • Black pepper & Salt to taste
  • Olive Oil– 1 tsp

This is how we do it-

Baked Fish

  1. Pre-heat the oven at 400 degree centigrade.
  2. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and baste it with olive oil.
  3. Rub the fish fillets with salt, pepper, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Coat it with minced garlic. Let it sit at least for 30 minutes.
  4. Place the fish fillets on the baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes.There is no need to flip the fish.

Turnip Greens

  1. Wash the turnip greens and chop them roughly.
  2. Heat some oil in a pan and on a low flame, add minced garlic.
  3. Increase the heat to medium and mix in the turnip greens.
  4. Add vinegar, salt and black pepper powder. Sauté for a minute.
  5. As the leaves of the turnip get reduced in size, stir in the vinegar and cook for 1/2 a minute.
  6. Serve it with the Baked Tilapia.
I hope you try the recipe and make it part of your regular diet. The recipe is extremely savory and definitely an amazing bargain for all the health benefits it provides.
 
Happy Cooking!

Recipe of Stuffed Pomfret Fry- Bharlela Paplet Fry-

 

Fish has always been an indispensable part of our staple diet..so dinners in our home consisted of fish at least twice a week.That meant the yummiest of fish and crustaceans were brought in by mom and cooked to perfection every single week.

Oh how I miss the good old days when we came home to the aroma of fish fry and some lovely curry.
I loved them all like they were my own..the prawns, the ravas (salmon) , the bombil (bombay duck), the crab, the shimplya (clams) and so many more varieties..but Pomfret cooked in any form always topped the list.Pomfret has always been the most favorite food of our family at all times.
So much so that we even named our whatsapp family group ‘The paplet queens’ in its honour.

Here is my mother’s recipe to Bharlela Paplet which involves stuffing pomfret with a coconutty masala and shallow frying it.

Ingredients
  1. Fresh pomfrets (Silver pomfret) – 2 (cleaned, whole and without the head and fins, with a slit on the side)
  2. Fresh coconut (Shredded) -1 cup
  3. Green chillies – 4-5
  4. Fresh Coriander – Handful
  5. Garlic – 5-7 cloves
  6. Ginger – 1 inch piece
  7. Sugar – 1/2 tsp
  8. Lemon Juice – 3-4 tsps
  9. Rice flour – 4 tsps (Or enough to coat the fish)
  10. Semolina – 2 tsps (Or enough to coat the fish)
  11. Red chili powder – 2 tsps
  12. Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
  13. Salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Wash the pomfret and rub it with some salt, 1 tsp red chili powder, turmeric powder and lemon. Set it aside for at least 15-20 mins.
  2. Grind together shredded coconut, chillies, coriander (keep some aside for garnishing), ginger, garlic, sugar, salt. Add little water to make a paste.
  3. Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and sauté the paste for a minute.Don’t cook the paste for too long as that can lead to a bitter tasting masala.
  4. In a bowl, mix rice flour, semolina, salt and 1 tsp red chili powder.
  5. Once the masala paste is cooked, add a little lemon juice to it and mix well.
  6. Fill the pomfret with the paste and and coat it with the flour mixture.
  7. Shallow fry the pomfret on medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side, or till its fully cooked.
  8. Squeeze ample lemon juice over the pomfret and garnish it with coriander.
  9. You can reduce or add to the number of tsps of chili powder and number of green chillies depending on how hot you want the recipe to be.
For all those who can’t consume coconut due to dietary constraints, here is an alternate recipe to the masala filling
  1. Marinate the fish as directed above.
  2. Substitute the shredded coconut and lemon juice in the masala paste with 1/4 cup of vinegar.
  3. You will need a lot of coriander, say a bunch.
  4. All of the other ingredients stay the same. Grind them all into a paste n sauté in vinegar. Oil isn’t required.
  5. Cook it for a couple of minutes till the vinegar dries out and the mixture becomes thick.
  6. Fill it in the pomfret and fry as directed above.
  7. Finish the pomfret with a dash of lemon juice and garnish it with coriander.
