Air Fryer Salmon Fish Fry

May 8, 2021 No Comments

Air Fryer Salmon Fish Fry is a real favorite in my house, my kids absolutely love it.

The Air fryer is one of my favorite gadgets in the kitchen. Apart from the fact that you can fry using just a little oil, it gets the job done really fast! That’s a win in anyone’s kitchen, don’t you agree?!

If you do not have one, I highly recommend the Cosori Air Fryer.

Salmon is one of the tastiest types of fish that I have ever tried. It is a firm fish that stands up well when air-fried, it does not fall apart easily.

The other options that you could try are kingfish, halibut, or Mahi-mahi. Any firm fish is best.

The marinade is a few basic spices, yogurt, ginger garlic paste, salt to taste, and lime juice.

It’s best to marinate at least for an hour, but I have even air-fried the fish immediately, and it tasted good too!

Another option is marinating and freezing the fish, so you have it on hand. You could just thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and air fry like normal.

You could leave the skin on if you got it with skin. After it’s fried, the skin peels off easily. If you like eating the skin you could do so but we prefer to take the skin off.

How to make this Air fryer Salmon Fish Fry:

Turn on the air fryer to 350 degrees (F). Drizzle some oil ( around 1 tbsp) on the marinated fish pieces. You can use olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, or coconut oil.

Place the fish in the air fryer basket using tongs.

Make sure you do not put more than 4 pieces of fish, so there is enough air to circulate around them. Close the air fryer.

Cook for 10 minutes, turn the fish pieces in between. Once done gently remove fish from the basket, your delicious air-fried fish is ready!

The fish is so flaky and juicy. My whole family loves this air-fried fish, it is on the menu every single week!

Salmon fish fry can be eaten just as a snack, eat it with rice and dal, eat it in a taco, pita bread, paratha, naan, etc.

My favorite is eating it with avocado salad. So delicious!

Course Main Course

Cuisine Indian

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 20

Ingredients

6 Medium slices of salmon fish
2 tbsp Whole milk yogurt
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
Juice of 1/2 lime

Spices

1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder use extra if you like it spicy
½ tsp Coriander powder
¼ tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Salt or to taste

Instructions

Wash and pat dry the fish pieces.
Mix the rest of the ingredients for the marinade. It will be a nice red color because of the kashmiri chilli powder. Do not add water, the yogurt and lime juice is enough to mix it well.
Add this marinade to the fish pieces and mix well so all the pieces are coated well.
Cover it and keep it in the refrigerator for an hour. If you do not have time to let the marinated fish sit you can fry it immediately too.
When ready to fry, drizzle about 1 tbsp oil all over the fish. Mix it. Place around 3 or 4 pieces of fish in your air fryer basket. Do not over crowd the basket.
Turn on the air fryer at 350°, and let the fish cook for 10 minutes turning once in between.
Once done remove from the air fryer basket. Garnish with onion rings.

Notes

Depending on the size of the fish pieces you might need to add less or more time.

Thinner slices will be done sooner than the thicker ones. Keep an eye on them so they do not burn

If you do not have an air fryer, you could still pan fry these or bake in an oven.

Quick Chicken and Egg Noodles

May 6, 2021 2 Comments

This is just a basic Quick Chicken and Egg Noodles recipe, very simple to make, and really tasty. It is a favorite of my kids. They ask for it almost every week!

Basic Ingredients required for Quick Chicken and Egg Noodles:

Noodles:

What kind of noodles to use?

The best kind of noodle to use is thin spaghetti, I have also used regular spaghetti, egg noodles, and even linguine but I always go back to thin spaghetti. Of course for authentic Chinese noodles, egg noodles are preferred. An important thing to remember is not to overcook them. I follow the directions on the box for ‘al dente’.

Vegetables needed:

You can use up whatever vegetables you have on hand. Carrots, cabbage, broccoli, peas, bell peppers, corn, or green beans can be used.

I used carrots, broccoli, green bell pepper, and cabbage in this recipe. Cutting and prepping the vegetables in the same size helps them cook evenly, you want them to still be crunchy in the end.

Other than the above vegetables, you will need spring onions or scallions and chopped garlic.

Chicken:

Which cut of Chicken is best?

You could use chicken breasts, thighs, or tenders. My personal preference is chicken thighs as the thigh meat is more tender and remains juicy after cooking. The chicken breast and tenders usually become a bit dry when cooked.

Other ingredients:

Eggs, Soya Sauce, Oil, Salt and Pepper to taste, Chicken stock cube(optional)

How do you make these Quick Chicken and Egg Noodles?

Cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces using kitchen scissors. After that marinate it in salt, pepper, and soya sauce. I do that just before I start prepping the veggies, so it has about 10 to 15 minutes to marinate. Once the chicken is cooked, save it along with its juices to add later once the noodles and vegetables are done.

Keep all the ingredients ready, once your wok or Non-stick wok is hot, it just takes 5 minutes for the noodles to be done. The vegetables just need a couple of minutes to cook, be careful not to overcook them, they still need to be crunchy.

The egg can be scrambled and added in the end.

If you are vegetarian, just substitute tofu/paneer for the chicken or just go with only vegetables.

For marinating chicken

1 chicken thigh cut into small pieces
1 tbsp soya sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Marinate chicken with soya sauce, salt and pepper.
Prep all the vegetables. Chop up scallions and garlic. Cut vegetables into sticks as shown in picture.
Heat up a wide pan on high heat. Keep all your ingredients ready.
Add marinated chicken and cook. It will cook fast as the pieces are small. Take out the chicken and set aside.
Add the scallions and garlic, stir it and immediately add the veggies, Season with salt and pepper. Dont cook too long, as they still have to be crispy.
Add noodles, soya sauce and mix everything. Add in chicken pieces. Scramble 2 eggs and add them in. Mix and switch off.
Garnish with the chopped scallions.

Notes

You can make this vegetarian by excluding chicken and eggs.
You can add vegetable or chicken soup cubes to add even more flavor to your noodles.
The entire process from the time you heat the oil till you're done should just take 5 minutes as your cooking on high heat.

2 Ingredient Naan

May 3, 2021 6 Comments

If you haven’t tried this internet phenomenon yet you definitely have to!!

I could not believe it until I tried it for myself! You get soft naan in no time without much work and the best part is NO yeast!!

It is a definite yes in my kitchen!! I make this at least once a week and my kids love it.

You can eat it with your favorite curry dish, as a wrap, or even make a naan pizza! Whichever way you decide to eat it, it is delicious!

Update: I wanted to share a picture of 2 ingredient Naan pizza made by my nephew Ethan!

Naan pizza by Ethan — 2 ingredient Naan Pizza By Ethan Mudartha

This 2 ingredient dough recipe is very popular. When I first came across it I wondered if with just 2 ingredients this was possible or is it just a hoax?!

I decided to put it to the test and was pleasantly surprised by the results. I used this recipe as a guide: https://thebigmansworld.com/2-ingredient-naan/

Ingredients:

You just need 2 ingredients as you would have guessed;)

1 and 3/4 cups Self-raising flour ( don’t worry if you don’t have this, you can make it by combining 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder & 1 tsp Salt) just take away 1/4 cup and use the rest.

And

1 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt

Add 1 tsp salt to taste and any seasonings that you like. Some great options are Chilli flakes, Garlic powder, onion powder, Kasoori methi( dried fenugreek leaves)

How do you make it?

Just combine the two and you have your dough., mix with a wooden spoon, and then knead with your hands to make a dough, it does not have to be a very smooth dough. You don’t even have to wait for it to rise like a yeast dough. Just roll out your naan bread and cook them on a hot pan. You can use a cast iron pan that retains heat very well and cooks the naan evenly. A non-stick pan can be used as well, but I recommend a cast iron pan for even cooking.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, giving you 8 good-sized naans. I have even divided the dough into 16 pieces and made mini naans! Use a rolling pin to roll out the naans about 1/4 of an inch thick.

After cooking the naans you can brush them with butter, chopped garlic, cilantro, etc to give it even more flavor.
