Posted By : Joanna D'souza

Amphade is basically same as that of Moile except you add Coconut Milk and ½ a teaspoon of Garam Masala at the very end to enhance its taste

You can take any fish of your choice Bagra / Surmai / Rawas / Masa 

Ive used small Baby Bagra Fish 12 pieces / if they are large you can use just 4 pieces

But incase of 1 small size Pomfret 

Clean and Trim the Pomfret or any fish of your choice

Slice the Pomfret or the other kinds of fish into pieces wash

Apply 1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric powder 1/2 Teaspoon Salt let it rest for about 10 minutes

Then shallow fry those pieces of Fish in 2 to 3 tablespoon of Oil and set aside

Fry the onions first fry until soft and as soon as it sweats

Then add Ginger And Garlic also fry until soft and light golden brown

Then you add up fresh green chillies  fry them too until soft and fried

Make sure to keep your flame on slow medium heat

so as not to burn the ingredients or brown them

Fry all of these masala e nice and light browned

Then add the sliced tomatoes  cook them until soft and pulpy

Then add the raisins and fry and with the spoon smash it and crush them along with this masala

Then add up Bottle Masala saute and fry until Flavour erupts and Oil separates

After adding up all this

Add ½ cup of Extracted Coconut Milk Give a gentle stir

Let the gravy simmer for few minutes

Then finally add the Fried fish and allow to cook for 4 to 5 minutes

Once done you sprinkle ½ teaspoon of Garam Masala to enhance the Fish  Amphade

Top it up generously with finely chopped green coriander leaves

Switch off the gas and allow the Fish Amphade to settle for about 15 to 20 minutes to catchup with all its flavours 

Once ready serve it with Hot Rice or Handmade Rice Rowtys  .
