Fish is the most delish dish,
Be it – Basa, Pomfret, Sole or Ilish
Boiled, Grilled or Stir-fry,
All of which you must give a try.
Ruling the Sea, Lake & River,
In taste, they all… deliver
Tuna Tuesday or Fry-day,
Consume a slice of it Everyday ©
During my time in Kolkata, while attending Catering College, I developed a natural fondness for fish, which turned into an obsession when I moved to Mumbai over twenty years ago. I enjoy both river fish and sea produce equally. This passion led me to create a delicious and easy recipe that only requires a few ingredients. I used Basa (also known as Swai or Bocourti) in this recipe, but you can use any fish fillets to create a delectable dish. The recipe takes less than 45 minutes to prepare and is high in protein, moderate in omega-3 fatty acids, and energy. It’s perfect for #gains!
