Baked fish

(super low calorie)

I have little to say about this fish recipe as I feel the photograph speaks for itself. Half a kilo of a kingfish cooked with the simplest of spices and just two – three tablespoons of oil and yet such  an exotic flavor , which is an absolute feast for the eyes and palate. I would say that this recipe of "Baked fish " is strictly for fish lovers as there is absolutely no strong seasoning to "doll up" if I may be allowed to say the preparation.....just a few simple basic "Indian kitchen "spices found in the humblest of the homes , smeared carelessly on the fish and then baked or cooked on the gas , however you would prefer it. 

Ingredients:

1.  Half a kilo king fish ( a single piece or many pieces as it suits you)

2.   6- 8 medium tomatoes crossed with a knife on the top slightly

3.   One and half  tablespoons lemon juice or plain vinegar ( I have used coconut vinegar here)

4.  One fourth teaspoon turmeric powder

5.  Half a teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder

6.  One eighth teaspoon garam masala

7.   Salt to taste or like I did one teaspoon only

8.   Potato fries

9.   Onions cut in wedges

10.            Two three tablespoons oil

Method:

1.   Wash and pat dry the fish piece or pieces .

2.   Mix the ingredients numbered from 3 to 7.

3.   Smear the mixture on the fish pieces on both the sides and keep aside for atleast half an hour to any number of hours in the refrigerator.

4.   Place the fish on a baking tray and place the tomatoes on the sides .

5.   Brush the oil on the fish and the tomatoes.

6.   Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree celcius for ten  minutes on each sides.
