The left-overs got a make-over.
It tasted perfect. So here I am, sharing what evolved into this usable recipe.. It takes about 5 mins start to finish.
The main hero here is that leftover oil in which you fried fish a minute ago
- I assume your oil will have those marinated spices left behind after frying fish, becoz thats why no other spices are added here below
- In a hot pan, add 2 to 3 tbsp of that what-can-I-do-with-it oil
- Add whole garam masala
- Optional: Fry ginger-garlic-cilantro paste (1 Tbsp)
- Fry 2 slit green chillies (reduce if adding chilly paste)
- Increase the heat (high heat)
- Optional: Add 1 tsp of Chilly paste and fry for few seconds
- Optional: Add 1 tsp of Soy Sauce
- Toss 1 cup of cooked rice (left overs welcome)
- Stir rapidly to coat the rice with the oil/sauce
- Sprinkle salt (if using left over oil, use less salt as oil might be salty)
- Sprinkle pepper
- Toss in some little pieces of fried fish
- Fry the rice for another minute
- You can add some scrambled eggs to the make-over mela
- For garnishing, you can add cut green grapes or pineapples & cilantro
- Important: Serve without mentioning the leftover - makeover story ;)
