We've shown you how to make Paneer Chilli, Chicken Chilli,
But for those of you who love seafood and particularly Fish,
You don't want to miss today's recipe for 'Fish Chilli'.
In this Wok here, I've got some oil heating up to deep fry the fish.
But before that, I need to make a really nice batter for it.
And to make a really nice and crisp batter,
I'm going to start with an Egg first.
Just break up that egg and whisk it.
To this, I'm going to add a tbsp of Soy Sauce.
This is also going to add saltiness to this.
3 tbsp of Corn Flour.
3 tbsp of All-purpose Flour.
1/4 of a tsp of Black Pepper Powder.
1 tsp of Garlic paste.
And 1 tsp of Ginger paste.
Now just whisk everything together.
Just make sure that you whisk this well to get a really smooth batter.
Just like this one.
Now I've got about 250 grams of boneless Fish Fillet,
You can use any fish of your choice.
Which I've just cut up here into 1 inch cubes,
And I'm just going to dip all of these into the batter.
Just mix the pieces of fish with the batter really well,
Making sure that it's coated completely in the batter.
And just one by one start dropping the pieces of fish into the hot oil.
Just keep these moving in the hot oil, and flip them over,
We're looking for them to get an even golden brown colour.
Some of these are absolutely ready for me to pull out of the hot oil.
Look at that beautiful golden brown colour.
I'm just going to leave it on a paper towel to drain.
And now we're going to move on to making the sauce for the Fish Chilli.
I'm going to start heating the Wok.
It's empty, yes that's when you need to start heating it for Chinese food.
And while the wok is heating up,
I'm going to go ahead and make a slurry,
With 1 tbsp of Cornflour, and I'm going to add 1 tbsp of water.
And just mix this together, we'll need to mix this again later.
Just mix this to make sure that it's completely smooth.
And then set it aside.
I'm also going to mix together the sauces that we need for later.
For that, I need 2 tbsp of Soy sauce.
1 tbsp of Chili Sauce.
And 1/2 a tbsp of Tomato Ketchup.
Again just mix this together and set it aside.
Now this wok is nice and hot,
To this, I'm going to add about 2 to 3 tbsp of oil.
I'm using some of the oil left over from frying the fish.
And now to this oil, I'm going to add 2 tbsp of finely minced Garlic.
And 1/2 a tbsp of finely minced Ginger.
Just swirl these around in the pan, till the raw smell goes away.
To this, I'm going to add 3 Green Chillies...
...that have been slit into half.
And I'm going to add the white part of 2 Spring Onions,
That have just been Chopped up, not too finely.
Give that a quick stir fry.
1 Green Capsicum that's also been chopped up into about 1-inch cubes.
While this is sorting, I'm going to add a 1/4 of a tsp of Black Pepper Powder.
And just stir that in.
Remember the mixture of sauces that we had made earlier,
So now is the time to just add that into the pan.
Just make sure that the capsicum and everything is coated in these sauces.
And almost immediately add about a 1/4 of a cup of water.
Remember that cornflour slurry we had made earlier,
It's time to just give that a bit of a stir again.
Make sure it's nice and smooth.
And add that to the pan.
Stir to just make sure that it's mixed really well.
And take the flame up to high.
You'll see that it starts to thicken immediately,
And that's when you know it's time to add the fish.
Just make sure that the fish is completely coated in this sauce.
The fish is really nicely coated in the sauce.
So I'm just going to take it off the heat, turn off the heat completely.
And add just a slight amount of Vinegar.
Mix that in really well.
And this is the point when you should check...
...to see if you want to add some more salt.
All the sauces that we've added already have salt in it.
I'm absolutely ready to serve up this Fish Chilli.
And quite honestly I can't wait to eat it.
This Fish Chilli quite honestly is such a versatile recipe,
You can have it as a starter or even serve it up as a main course.
