pan-fried Tilapia fish

These fleshy Tilapia fish fillets, with a very appetizing crispy cornflakes outer layer, could be the best, pan-fried fish fillets you could ever dream of. Very quick and deliciously healthy dinner choice in which you could include an assortment of colourful steamed or grilled veggies.

This unique recipe was passed on to me by one of my Goan friends who is an expert in producing mouthwatering fish dishes.  Rolling the fish fillets on crushed cornflakes is a breakthrough in producing such beautifully crunchy outer crust. Who would have thought that cornflakes could play such an exciting role other than floating in milk in the cereal bowl? So, try this easy peasy recipe and enjoy your crunchy fish fillets for dinner tonight!

So, gather the necessary ingredients and let’s make it;

What you will need:

Fish fillets (Tilapia)4
Lemon1tbsp

  • When one side is fried enough, carefully turn on to the other side.  Fry both sides until golden and crispy

Grilled Tomatoes

cherry tom

 These beautiful, grilled, cherry tomatoes look and taste great as a side dish when you are serving baked/grilled fish.  Also, without a doubt,  the burnt taste blended with the light sourness and sweetness of the cherry tomatoes will enhance the taste of your main dish.

The grilling process is as follows:

  • Get the cheery tomatoes with the stem intact.  Prick each one lightly with a toothpick
  • Place on a baking tray lined up with a foil
  • Sprinkle salt and olive oil. Roll them until they are wrapped with salt and oil
  • Grill under 200 C oven
  • Serve warm with their juices braised on tomatoes

This is indeed a seasonal delight! At the start of the Spring season when the cherry tomatoes are in abundance, is the best time to make this pickle! The speciality of this pickle is that it has no vinegar or a great volume of unhealthy oils.   It’s just natural and simple as it can be!  I am sure that you will love looking at your home-made tomato pickle jar as it sits prettily on your window sill, bathing in the warm glow of Spring sunshine! Once, the pickle is made, you must place the jar under sunlight for a couple of days. This will allow the tomatoes to wilt naturally and ferment with the juices and mustard oil. You need only a few ingredients as follows; Ripped juicy cherry tomatoes 8 Peeled garlic cloves 5 Green chilies slit in the middle 4 Chili powder 1/2 tsp Mustard powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Turmeric 1/4 tsp Let’s make it: First, prepare the glass jar by washing it thoroughly and wipe until dry.
