I had planned a nice seafood night tonight but I got halfway there, a couple of neighbours came over for a beer which is good so the Barramundi looks like it's tomorrows dinner.

Cheers Mate, I developed a system years ago, what I do is fill a glass with hot water while you are plating up, while the glass is still warm spoon the rice in a gently pack it down until you are level with the rim on the glass. Carefully overturn the glass & place it upside down on the plate & leave for a couple of minutes, when you have sat down or served your guests gently tap the bottom of the glass with a wooden spoon & slide it upwards - it should stay in tack. It takes a bit of practice & a thicker glass is best.

Have a go & send me a photo 🤣

Mate, that looks amazing! Love curries, love vindaloo especially. Looks the proper version , marinated in vinegar? Your raita looks the business too.

💪👍

Not marinated, but it's real good. My own recipe. Borrowed from a few a tweaked for me.

 

Quote



2 dried chillies
1 1/2 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp peppercorns
1 tsp green cardamon
2 black cardamon - these are great
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp mustard seed - I have used both black and yellow
1 tbl coriander seed
1 tsp fenugreek seed
5 cloves
1 whole star anise - optional but really good

dry fry that lot, add the fenugreek late as it can burn.
cool, grind

1 tsp turmeric
1 tbl kashmiri chilli powder

fry in oil / ghee / butter / mustard seed oil
2 large onions - until brown, really brown but not burnt
stem of curry leaves - they pop n crackle
1 inch ginger
1 head garlic
chillies - I use 2 x naga's which makes this very hot
curry powder

500 / 800 grams pork / goat / chicken / beef added next.
brown.

can also add potato and carrot now if you want 

1/3 cup malt vinegar - or vinegar of choice, probably not balsamic though
1 tin of tomatoes.
Cook until cooked.

eat.

oh, salt to taste too.

Let me know how it is.... I tend to cook the sauce and blend it now for that smooooth restaurant look

You old smoothie, it is worth spending the time on the sauce as you know if you have got the meat right ( like marshmallows ) you have a winner. BTW where was the Naan bread ??

Moroccan spiced Barramundi with chips & salad, pretty ordinary but it was good.

Yes Stquinta I had some Sauvignon Blanc with it, awesome.

Funny that's exactly what I do  - I might marinate the meat, then cook the sauce and blend it. Then sear the meat and put the sauce back in. I prefer it withought bits of visible onion etc.

Good stuff mate. Just had a bt of fish for lunch, not wothy of a photo particularly as it was in a work canteen 😉

Still, not bad. 

We don't get Barramundi up here in Europe (that I've seen), googling it look like a type of sea bass.

Here's a few facts

What type of fish is a barramundi?

The Australis barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is also known as the Asian sea bass and is native to Australia and Southeast Asia. They are catadromous fish in the family Laridae.

Where are barramundi farmed?

The largest producer of barramundi is Indonesia with other commercial farming operations in Vietnam, Australia, and the United States. Other areas where they are commonly found include southern Japan and along the coast from China to the Persian Gulf.

Taught my boy how to cook steak. Not a bad effort from him…

Chips were a bit greasy though- I cut some corners and over-filled the basket
