Fish Bell Pepper (Capsicum)

This is a normal lunch/dinner dish. The recipe in a rare flourish uses garam masala with capsicum (bell pepper), which the Chinese would never do. But we are talking about the British here, aren’t we?

Serves 3-4

Ingredients

Sliced Fish- 250 grams (9oz) (1 cup)

Note: If frozen, please thaw the fish first.

Bell Peppers (Capsicum) - 4 (cut in half with seeds removed)

Onions (chopped) - 2

Ginger (chopped) - 1 teaspoon

Garlic (chopped) - 1 teaspoon

Black pepper (crushed) - ¼ teaspoon

Cumin seeds (Jeera) - ½ teaspoon

Garam Masala- ½ teaspoon

Tip: If you can't get ready-made garam masala mixture from a nearby Indian store, you can make yours by using 1 black cardamom, 3 green cardamoms, 4 cloves, and 1 inch cinnamon-all ground together for this dish.

Tomato ketchup- 1 tablespoon

Fresh coriander (Cilantro) leaves (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoon

Raisins- 1 tablespoon

Salt- 1/4 teaspoon or to taste

Cooking oil- 1 tablespoon

Method

In a deep pan, put the fish and pour water to cover the fish.

Put this on your heat source and bring it to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes.

Switch off the heat source and take out the fish.

If you are using a fish with bones, let the fish become cool enough to touch. Then debone the fish carefully.

Otherwise use a fork to mash up your boneless fish right away. Keep aside.

Place a pan on your heat source and put one tablespoon of cooking oil.

As soon as the oil heats up, add the cumin seeds.

In a few seconds the cumin will splutter and brown. Immediately add the chopped onion, garlic and ginger.

Sauté till it starts changing colour and gives off a nice aroma.

Now add the mashed fish and rest of the ingredients. Mix well and cook for about 2 minutes.

Switch off the heat source.

Switch on the oven.

While the oven pre-heats, take the bell pepper halves and stuff them with the fish filling.

Place these on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes at 200 degree C (392 degrees F).

That’s all. Your Fish Bell Pepper is ready.
