I am a huge fan of one-pot meals. They are great for today's on-the-go society. You get your carbs, veggies and proteins in one large pot, and yet no one is complaining! Sharing this lovely recipe, a one pot spicy cod rice.
So take some 12-14 cod pcs (can use deboned Rawas instead) and lightly salt it. Now take 2 tbsps flour, 1 tbsp cumin powder and 1 tbsp of coriander powder and mix them well, they are all dry. Now coat the fish well and set them out on a baking paper on a tray. Store in the fridge for 30 mins.
Till then de-shell peas(can use frozen ones), chop red carrots in julienne pieces, finely chop bird eye red chillies and spring onions. Also fry a few cashews till golden but do not over fry them.
Now boil a cup and a half long grained rice, please avoid over cooking the rice.
In well warmed oil in a large pot or wok, shallow fry the fish till both sides are golden brown. Set aside. To the same warm oil, add the spring onions and toss for 1 min. Then add the carrots, peas and the red chillies. Fry for 2 mins. Next add the cashew nuts and toss everything together. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp sweet chilly sauce. Now add the rice and stir well. Add salt to taste remembering that soy sauce is salty on its own. Finally add the fried fish and once again give the pot a nice big toss.
Make this your Sunday family meal. It is lip smacking and wholesome.
