SARDINE FRY
Ingredients
Fish – 2 whole pcs (medium size)
Ginger Paste – 1 tsp
Onion Paste – 1 tbsp
Black Pepper (crushed) – 1 tbsp
Olive Oil – 1.5 tbsp
Parsley (finely chopped) – 1 tbsp
Salt – 1.5 tbsp
Vinegar – 1 tbsp
Lemon – 2 pcs
Besan – half tsp
Capsicum, tomato, cauliflower, beans – all chopped into tiny cubes

Method of Preparation.
Clean the fish and keep it soaked for about one hour in vinegar, lemon juice (two medium-sized fresh lemons) and 1 tablespoon salt. Thereafter, wash the fish thoroughly and then dry it with a towel or napkin. Marinate the fish with onion paste, ginger paste, salt and parsley, preferably for about two hours. Once marinated, apply a thin layer of Besan coating on the entire fish. Then place the fish in one tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, cover it with a lid and let it fry in a low flame for, say, 10 minutes. Next, flip the fish to the other side, apply half a teaspoon of black pepper and continue the frying process for 10 minutes. Thereafter, turn the fish again, apply the remaining black pepper to the exposed side, raise the flame, and place all the vegetables in the frying pan. Fry each side of the fish for 2 minutes. Try to keep the pan covered with a lid when frying takes place. Pour the remaining lemon juice once frying is over, and your fried sardine is ready. Bon appétit!

Cheesy Variation

Cover the fried fish with one tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of crushed black pepper. Place the lid for one minute to allow the cheese to melt over the fish. Serve the dish with toast. Bon Appétit!

🍳 Jump to Recipe Shami Kebab - a Royal Taste While most kebabs are merely eaten, a true Lucknowi Shami Kebab is experienced . Imagine a texture so silky it yields to the slightest pressure, infused with the royal aroma of Rose Water and Shah Jeera. This isn't just a recipe; it's a heritage secret from the heart of Awadh, perfected in Ruby's Kitchen. IN SEARCH OF TASTE - A TALE OF FOUR CITIES A food aficionado’s mouthwatering journey over the years in the cities he lived. Read  Rana's memoir with food. Cooking has been regarded as one of the greatest arts right from the time of Julius Caesar. Although elements of the art of cooking are easy to define, I have discovered over the years that the tastes that still linger on my tongue are the tastes that mattered. In that respect, my nanny still remains unbeatable as the greatest cook in my life. We called her ‘nannabhai’, derived from the Bengali word ‘ranna’ for cooking. Be it a...

A Roman Holiday

Colosseum ROMA - Ancient Rome & Papal Rome Imagine going back 2000 years in time and space while standing on the stone floor inside a colossal amphitheatre. Amidst thousands of Roman spectators. The booms of drums reverberate as the ceremonial parade enters the stadium. After saying ‘Ave imperator; morituri te salutant’ (those who are about to die salute you) to the Emperor, the gladiatorial combat begins. The crowd shouts jeers and throw their hands up in excitement. 60000 spectators? Like the excitement at Eden Gardens in Calcutta while watching a Cricket match. The gestures, the excitement, the uproar may be different from our present-day Mexican waves. But how does that matter? After all, a stadium is a venue for entertainment – be it the bloodiest sport in the history of mankind. And how the Romans loved watching violence and killings. Historians remain befuddled as to how Romans who are regarded as the precursor of human civilization could ha...

THE LOST KINGDOM

The Lost Kingdom - Khmer Empire Visit Timeshares 9 th Century AD. Angkor was the largest city in the world. For the next 500 years, it was the capital of the Khmer Empire. The city witnessed the construction of hundreds of world famous temples built by the Khmer rulers. This sprawling complex of Angkorian ruins lies north of a safe, friendly and pleasant town of Siem Reap on the shores of Tonle Sap Lake. Siem Reap earned its name after the Khmer empire defeated and took over the Thai kingdom in the 17 th century. It literally means ‘Siamese defeated’. Because of its proximity to Angkor Archaeological Park, it has turned out to be one of the lively and touristic cities of Cambodia over the last decade. We stayed at Hotel Visoth Boutique, which is very conveniently located in Siem Reap. It is truly a boutique hotel. Homely with a warm and hospitable staff. We started off for Angkor Wat early in the morning when it was still dark outside. We did not want to miss...
