This hake in sauce that I bring you today comes with an oriental touch that you will love.
This type of curry is very typical of Bengal, an area to the North of the India and which is formed by Bangladesh (independent country) and Bengal (State of the India) and I've decided to bring it to you in the form of bengali sauce. These curries are based mostly on fish and that's what I bring you a delicious curry fish today, since it is an area where crops and livestock is difficult to maintain.
I wanted to bring you a different and original fish as usual to surprise you, and I deliberately went to the Asian cooking that I like so much. I should have brought you this hake in sauce before, but the recording of the new program "Impress with Loleta" took 100% of me last week!
It's a hake in sauce with, two main steps: a first in which we marinate the fish, and another in which we cook it. In this case, however, the Marinating time is limited to what it takes to prepare the ingredients of the recipe, so we can cook it with no time in advance needed. Recipe quick and always different. It is also a very light and healthy recipe that helps us to continue with our summer goal diet!

- 2 teaspoons coriander ground €0.10

Directions
1. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Add fish fish and mix so that the marinade covers the fish. Let stand while you prepare the rest of the recipe. As long as we cook Asian food first thing is have all ingredients ready to incorporate them without waiting during cooking.
2. In a large skillet (preferably in a wok), over medium-high heat, add two tablespoons of mustard oil. Fry the fish gently for 1 to 2 minutes, to seal them well. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
3. In the same pan, and with the same oil, saute the cauliflower for 2 minutes, until browned on all sides. Remove and place in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sweat.
4. Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining mustard oil. When it is very hot, add the Nigella seeds, chilli, garlic and ginger. Sauté for 2 minutes, until they are slightly brown. Then increase the heat to high and add the onions. Fry for 2 minutes.
5. Lower again the heat to medium and add 120 ml of water. Mix well and cover. Cook the onions for 10-12 minutes until they are soft and toasted, stirring occasionally. Add the mustard and ground coriander, the turmeric and chili powder. Move well and cover for 1 minute.
6. Then add the tomato puree and mix well.
7. Add then the 250 ml of water. Dissolve the fish stock in the sauce and cook over high heat for a couple of minutes. Then add the cauliflower and cook over low heat, uncovered, for about 15 minutes.

Another recipe that like at home, Asian food! Here I read some species that I have not ever used so now I will tell you the result.
And speaking of species I wanted to ask you if you know Street-Xo in Madrid and you think (food clear because the staging of the restaurant's other singing), there aren't many people who know also how your this type of fusion cuisine!
Sorry if it is not appropriate that you ask for these themes!
Thanks for the recipe!
Hello Maraura, if you know Street-Xo! Of course! and I love it. I think that there are very few restaurants in the world with as much explosion of flavor and as much creativity. It is the favorite of my son so whenever we can we eat there. One pass. I glad that you like the blog. and please, write me whenever you feel like that I love to read comments from readers, especially if they are as nice as yours :) A kiss and thank you for being here with me!
I love the kitchen Asian by its colors and flavors, so aromatic and special ta, I'm not surprised to be trend globally because of course it will not be by variety in ingredients and spices, in addition to their sauces and for seasoning products both dishes. This dish you have a pintaza and you better know imagining the ingredients and also all very well explained as always. Today that does not have or didn't find these flavors is because you don't want to because there are lots of Asians in internet products that lead you home directly. As always a dish of 10. Thank you.

Hi Sergio, thank you very much for your comment. The truth is that Asian cuisine I loses its flavor, its color and its variety. I love and cooking a lot at home, adapting recipes always with a touch further, so that I am fully in agreement that he not cooking with a touch so is because you don't want to. Your blog is very cool. Thank you very much for being here with me. :)
