I just love it,just love it.My dad cooks it very nice but had very few times when i was with him as shutki is not easily available in my home town but in chennai its like anytime you to shop,its available but still can't eat it often as Tandra don't like its smell during the process of cleaning the shutki.But once this dish is cooked completely no once can find the smell (which most of the people may not like).It taste out of the world.....Its hot,really hot and spicy.
Loitta Shutki Bhuna (Dried Loitta
Fish)
Ingredients:
- Loitta shutki (dried) - 2 cups
- Small potatoes - 2
- Sliced onions - ½ cup
- Onion-1 paste
- Ginger paste - 1 teaspoon
- Garlic paste - 2 teaspoons
- Coriander powder - 2 teaspoons
- Cumin powder - 2 teaspoons
- Ground turmeric - 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder - 1 teaspoon(I use more to make it more hot)
- Green chili - 4 to 5
- Chopped garlic - 1 tablespoon
- Fried cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - 1 teaspoon (as needed)
- Oil - ½ cup
- Remove the heads and tails, and cut the fish into 1" pieces.
- Fry them slightly in a pan without any oil, and then soak the pieces in cold water for about an hour.
- While being soaked, wash the pieces thoroughly a few times in
water to get rid of all the sand. Once cleaned completely, keep the
loitta pieces aside.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into 1" pieces.
- Heat oil in a pan and brown the onions.
- Add ginger, garlic paste,onion paste, coriander, cumin
powder, turmeric, chili powder and salt. Stir fry with a bit of
water.
- Once mixed thoroughly, add the loitta pieces and saute over low heat.
- Add the potatoes, chopped garlic and green chili after 3 to 4 minutes. Continue to keep over low heat.
- Add ½ cup of water after another 3 to 4 minutes and cover
the pan.
- Once the water dries up after 5 to 6 minutes, and the loitta pieces are lightly fried, turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle the fried cumin powder over before serving hot.
N.B:Remember, clean it very properly to get rid of the sand.Wash,Wash,Wash...Get rid of sand.
