Nyonya Curry Mee (Malaysia's Cuisine)

Salam n hello.. my sweet friends!! Today is another guest post by my sweetest new friend,  Shazzy.  I met her few days back on blogger and she is from Malaysia. She is such a sweet champ <3 Her humbleness has really impressed me. She as a great passion for cooking and have a wonderful blog. She is currently blogging on He chops She Cooks.  As u knw I rarely try recipes out of my cuisine, I asked her for her traditional recipe- to which she agreed  :) Thanx a lot Shazzy!! Am soo happy to have a recipe of urs on my blog :) Lets see what Shazzy has to say to us <3

Fish Shashlik Sticks

Shashlik (shashlyk) is actually a mongolian dish. Shashlik was originally marinated cubes of grilled lamb or beef, but people of different areas changed it depending on local, taste and religious preferences. It is also a form of Shish Kabab popular in India and other Asian countries.

It has high protein contents like meat and vegetables which make it even more healthier. And if grilled, it has very little fatthat is  in the form of oil.

Today I am going to alter bit of the original recipe, and use fish instead of beef. This recipe is just soo yumm n perfect that u will never regret making it. Extremely delicious and mouth drooling.

In this recipe, simply the boneless fish and veggies have been marinated and then shallow fried :) Perfect as a snack for winters

Note: Never marinate in an aluminium pot, because meat absorbs the aluminium oxide from the pot that can b toxic.

Speedy Fried Fish (Rahu)

Winters are coming!! And everyone is craving for fish!!  Fish was probably among the preliminary foods used by our fore fathers living near areas which have water or those in islands. Almost 2/3^rd of the earth has been covered with water. So, fish is a major resource of food throughout the world. There are millions of varieties of fishes. Fish mostly have its own special taste, so mostly it is preferred to cook in very few spices. Deep sea fish are rich in protein & omega fatty acids & low in saturated fat and hence it’s best if u are on a diet. Fish is a better option for protein resources, especially for those friends who don't like to eat red meat or any other kind of meat due to any personal restrictions, religious or dietary belief. Besides, main savory dishes & some difficult fish recipes, fish can be included in soups or cooked with pasta/noodles. Fish is a very appetizing & versatile meat. It can be cooked in variety of ways. Food was eaten raw before the use of heat & fire. Fishing has become a hobby and fascinate many youngsters. Even my hubby has bought a fishing rod, and soon we will be visiting some place like Chashma here near Mianwali, to catch some fish and enjoy :P There are hundreds & thousands different varieties of fish, and the taste varies from species to species. Generally, deep sea fish are protein rich & less fat, favorite of people on diet. But fish itself best for diet and can be steamed, fried with even a tablespoon of oil, grilled, baked and what not.

Deep fried fish is an easy way to cook fish.Fish and chips are made this way and served with ketchup/ sauce. Flavour can be enhanced by adding different spices, lemon or tenderizing your fish acc to ur taste. Fish is one of my hubby’s favorite dishes in winters. No matter in which forms it may be cooked. Today I am going to discuss with u the simplest form of cooking fish (variety I have used is Rahu) that is, frying it using gram flour. Here is its simplest recipe:
