Fish in garlic coriander sauce.



Light Fish , with a light fragrant gravy is a favourite at dinner. Our dinners are usually light, with some soup, stir fried or baked vegetable and some chicken or fish. This one works best with white fish. I have used Sea bass / Basa . You can try this with Red Snapper, Pomfret, Indian Salmon , King fish or even Prawns.

500 gms of boneless fish, cut into medium size pieces.
2 tblsp each chopped garlic, green coriander
1/2 tsp black pepper, sugar
1 tblsp ginger sherry ( optional) ## pls check the tips page. 
salt to taste
1 tblsp cornflour
2 tblsp roasted sesame seed oil / sesame oil/ olive oil or any mildly flavoured vegetable oil.
1 green chilli sliced ( optional)

In a wok, heat the oil , toss in the chilli, garlic. Fry till the garlic smells roasted. Add in the green coriander and sauté. Put in 1/2 cup of water , season with salt, pepper, sugar and ginger sherry. add in the fish pieces. After 2 mins of cooking the fish on  low heat. Mix the cornflour with 2 tblsp water and add to the fish. Stir lightly without breaking the fish. Cover and cook for 5 mins. Serve with steamed or fried rice or Noodles.
