Ayubowan! I warmly welcome you to my YouTube channel
Today's tutorial will be on how to cook a Fish Head
My recipe is different from the traditional method of cooking Fish heads
Let's take a look at the required ingredients
I am using the Fish heads of Pink Salmon
We need to split the head in half
And remove the gills as it contains sand
Wash well before cooking
Clean as much of the scales as possible
Cut off the fins as well
First we need to make a paste by grinding
Coriander, Fennel seeds, Cumin, Cinnamon, curry leaves and pandan leaves
I had roasted (slightly) all the spices beforehand
However you can use unroasted curry powder as a substitute to the earlier mentioned spices
Onions
Tomatoes (instead of the traditional use of goraka)
Garlic, ginger
Green chillies
Coriander stems
We will be grinding all this into a paste
for the next step we will need Coconut milk,
Salt, tumeric
Chillie powder
Also Coriander leaves
Pepper
We will be grinding the spices and the earlier mentioned ingredients together
Onions
add the garlic and ginger to the paste
Tomatoes
Coriander stems
Green chillies
Add a bit of lukewarm water to grind the ingredients
Here is the paste
You can add 2tsp of sugar if preferred
We need a wide pan to prevent the fish from stacking on top of each other
Add some oil
Once heated, add the paste
Add chillie powder
Tumeric
Fenugreek seeds
Mix well
Add in the coconut milk
Let it come to a boil
Add some salt
Add the fish heads, spread evenly on the pan
Cover with a lid and let it cook for 10-15 mins
The gravy is nice and thick
I'll serve this on to a plate
This dish goes well with some white rice, bread, parata, chapathi
