Hilsa with mustard smoked in banana leaves

By Angelique -
Hilsha is almost next to impossible to find in Sweden, and so I shall try with other fishes very soon.

Ingredients:
7-8 pieces of hilsa.
1 1/2 tablespoons of mustard paste very finely ground., 1/2 tablespoon turmeric paste.,
1/2 teaspoon chili paste., 100 grams of mustard oil.
4-5 green chilies, washed and slit., 4-5 banana leaves, halved.

Steps:
place the fish pieces in a flat dish. Add masala pastes and salt.
mix the fish and masala pastes together.
add mustard oil and green chilies and mix again.
on the tawa or iron griddle place, 2-3 banana leaves one on top of the other and another 2-3 leaves crosswise over the first ones.
now carefully place the masala coated fishes in the center of the leaves.
pour the extra oil and masala on the top.
fold the banana leaves like a packet and tie it with a string.
place the tawa or the girdle on hot fire and cook for 20-25 mins.
remove from tawa and place the packet on a large platter.
untie it carefully and serve hot with rice.

Microwave method:-
follow the same recipe but make individual packets and place it in a flat dish and cook for 15-20 mins in medium heat.

Paneer!

By Angelique -
Half gallon Whole Milk and one lime is all you need. Bring the milk to a boil, then simmer down and add the juice of lime while stirring. You will see the milk part separating from water. Strain it and let it stand in the strainer for an hour or hour and a half. Now, dump the Paneer from the strainer onto a cutting board and cut small cubes out of it.

Grilled lemonade

By Angelique -
halve a couple lemons, dip them in sugar and pop them on the grill for a few minutes. Meanwhile, make a simple syrup by combining sugar, honey and a few sprigs of rosemary – which can and should be heated on the grill. Squeeze the charred lemons into a pitcher, add the syrup and dilute the juice with water to taste. Of course you can always bring it to the next level by adding vodka, rum, gin or even bourbon.
