INGREDIENTS

4 mackerels rinsed, slit within the center and 2-3 incision from the top (bangda)
17-18 dry red kashmiri chilies
1 inch ginger chopped
7-8 garlic cloves
1.5 tsp pepper corn
1 tsp cumin seed
½ tsp turmeric powder
2 one inch cinnamon stick (optional)
4-5 cloves
2 green cardamom
1 tbsp sugar
2 marble sized tamarind ball without seed or pulp
2.5 tbsp vinegar or as required
salt as required
oil for shallow frying

INSTRUCTIONS

• Soak all the spices, ginger, garlic, tamarind pulp and kashmiri chilies except oil in vinegar.
• Add sugar and salt.
• Also add turmeric powder.
• Combine all nicely and marinate for 35-40 mins.
• Grind the mixture until soft and smooth. Add more vinegar if required but ensure the paste has to be thick so add vinegar accordingly. If the masala paste is thin then it would not stick to the fish.
• Rinse the fish slit from the center and give some incision from the top. You could see the fish below for clarity.
• Now stuff the paste into the center and into the incision. Coat the entire fish with this paste. Marinate the fish for 30 mins.
• Place oil in a shallow pan, once oil is quite hot shallow fry the stuffed mackerels.
• Fry until golden brown from both sides
• Serve the recheado mackerels hot with salad, lime wedges, rice and curry.
