Hi all!
I am always cooking for the hubby 3 times a day and I feel like I am running out of ideas now. I usually rely on ground turkey meat and hamburger helper when I am running out of ideas but I am also getting tired of the same old routine for the hubby. He works hard at work and I want to please him when he comes home by having something new and delicious on the table. Any chicken, pork, beef recipes are welcome so please share whatever you want to encourage myself and other people to try! I would appreciate any suggestions :) .

hi
my favourite dish is fish curry with hot steaming rice. this is how my gurl makes the fish curry.
Ingredients:
1 kg fish cut into 1? thick slices
4 tbsps cooking oil
1 tbsp mustard seeds
2 tbsps cumin seeds
8 dry red chillies
10-12 curry leaves
1 large onion ground to a paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
1 tbsp garlic paste
2 large tomatoes cut into cubes
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp hot spice mix (garam masala) powder
5 tbsp grated coconut
1 tbsp tamarind pulp soaked in 1/2 cup of hot water
2 cups hot water
Salt to taste
Chopped coriander to garnish
Method of Preparation:
1. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on a medium flame and roast the dry red chillies, mustard and cumin seeds till they begin to release their aroma. Cool and grind to a fine powder.
2. Grind the tomatoes, turmeric, garam masala powder, coconut and above powder into a smooth paste. Keep aside. Squeeze the soaked tamarind pulp well in the water.
3. Heat the oil in a wide heavy-bottomed pan and add curry leaves and the onion paste and fry till light brown.
4. Add the ginger and garlic pastes and fry for 3-4 minutes.
Add the tomato and spice paste and fry till the oil begins to separate from the masala.
5. Add 2 cups of hot water and the tamarind pulp to this masala and stir to mix well.
6. Bring the gravy to a boil and then simmer.
7. Gently add the fish to this gravy and cook till done.
8. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with hot steaming rice.
