It is amazing how the whole house wants to participate when it is a dish they all like. I had planned on stir frying the fishing but DH ended up shallow frying which actually was a very good idea, the fish was soft and buttery.

ISG, rebellions in the household do give rise to some lovely recipes :-)
ReplyDeleteOfcourse this dinner would be gobbled in a jiffy! Looks so good :). Am glued for what comes up next :).
ReplyDeleteCool recipe Indo.. We are trying to go "riceless" at home too. You are so right, it is so easy to make dinner with just a curry and rice (I skip the veg stir fry part normally :( ), but thats not doing any favors to the waistline... :)
ReplyDeletei try to do stuff like this and then I crave so much for rice and dive right in.
ReplyDeleteSunita, sure does, I also get flak for spending so much time blogging and not being able to come up with good recipes :(
ReplyDeletemusical, quick, nutritious, riceless is what I am trying to come up with. Hope I won't disappoint you :)
Sig, thanks. Your roasted salmon on a bed of Veggies looked extremely attractive, going to be on the menu soon. Riceless sure does wonders to the waistline and is good for the adults in the household; but for the kiddies, lack of rice makes them think of their food as fast food! as opposed to a full meal :)
Shankari, we are going riceless not for diet reasons but, because the family is tired of eating rice. The kiddies moan and groan and the grownup has a grumpy face with the rice on the menu everyday. You might be right, after a while they might just want to get back to eating rice, lets see.
yummy!! i love burritos but havent tried one with fish!
ReplyDeleteI cooked two fish dish too this weekend!:D
ReplyDeleteUsually, I don't buy Fish at all, after looking all the fish dishes in the blog, I bought it at last.We liked it. Fish Buritto is so cool!:)

ReplyDeleteheheh i very well hear you on the "not again" expression but at my place it is only from the DH while my daughter and I just love rice.
ReplyDeleteNags, if you love fish and burritos, you would find this a real delight.
ReplyDeleteAsha, we love fish at our house :)
Happy Pongal! to you. Came back from you blog, yes blogging cannot take over the rest of our lives.
Sagari, thanks.
Rachel, we like rice too, but I have to admit I was overdoing it.
Dear ISG, I can see I've missed alot here as when I cook fish, catfish is the decided *fav* amongst the kids. Just the other day little m said to me, you know mom, since I have been home I haven't had ONE good catfish supper! I will have to do that soon as he goes back to school in just a few days. Burritos look so yummy, ISG. Thanks for that great inspiration. I think I would also like to read Piece of Work, so thanks for that, too :)
ReplyDeleteI love fish tacos in our nearby restaurant but that's with letuce and some special sauce. Yours look wholesome with all that beans and spices in it. Got to try it sometime.
