Spicy South Indian Shark Hash - Sura Puttu / Non Veg Recipe
Monday, January 14, 2008
This is a post on the ways to cook Sura Puttu (Shark Hash) purely on south indian amma ishtlye.. so Veg ppl take diversion. posting this not only for my friend, but for Myself as I keep forgetting the procedure and process to cook this dish and then a major line from Amma, dei phone kaasuku nee kadailayae poi sapadalam. [For the money you spend on Telephone, you might as well have at a Restaurant.]
Ingredients :
1. Shark (700gms),
2. Onions (3 big ones)(the more you take, the more the content and the taste),
3. Garlic cloves (handful - same logic as for onions)(Do not use the paste available in the market)
4. Ginger (half the size of little finger)(paste is ok here)
5. others [Turmeric powder, curry leaves, Green chillies, cloves, DalChini, Bay leaves, pepper powder, salt and oil]
Procedure :
1. Boil water in a vessel with water level just to immerse the shark in it. Once it starts to boil, drop the cleaned (with turmeric and salt) shark and let it get cooked for 10min with the lid closed. 10 min is sufficient, peel the skin (just like potato peeling - Easy one). Do not leave it in water for a longer time as it would make the puttu as a paste. Remove the inner middle bone, shred and smash the shark flesh with pepper powder (red chilli powder can also be used), turmeric and salt.
2. Vessel + oil + burner on, season the oil with cloves, DalChini, Bayleaves, green Chilli, curry leave. Awesome smell it would be at this time.
3. Add the onions to fry, add the garlic and ginger smashed in mixie. Fry to golden color.
4. Add the smashed shark, keep frying for 5 mins until, the smell of turmeric disapears
Ready!!
Heaven it would be when Servered for a Sambar or hot Tomato Rasam.
Server hot with love and affection on a banana leaf. If your guest is a fish lover and a big lazy *** like me, sure they would love it.
PS: Thot of putting a pic of it, but the dish vanished before i could take one. PK ithu pothuma?
