Beschreibung des Verlags
Atul Kochhar applies a simple but distinctive touch to more than 100 fish dishes in this innovative cookbook. Tandoori-Style Salmon, Seared Scallops with a Lively Mint Dressing, and Sea Bass in Coconut Milk and Ginger sauce are just a few of the unique dishes on show. His celebrated take on battered fish with mushy peas is included, as is John Dory wrapped in a batter spiked with turmeric, ginger, masala, and mango powder; peas flavored with asatoelida, and ketchup substituted for a grilled tomato chutney. It's typical of the book, a traditional dish transformed by an Indian twist. All of Atul's recipes showcase wonderful ways to present fish bursting with new and exciting flavors. Packed with exotic but simple recipes from one of the most exciting Indian chefs working today, this book also features stunning food photography from the incredible David Loftus.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this fresh, contemporary collection of recipes, London chef Kochhar (Indian Essence) laments the lack of seafood in Indian cookery, which tends to fixate on heavy curries. He sets out to right this problem. This being a fish-only book, chapters include Soups and Stews, Starters, Salads, Fish for Everyday, and special-occasion fish dishes. Traditional Indian fare is the starting point, like mulligatawny soup, updated with a sprinkling of crabmeat; samosas, stuffed with spiced crayfish fish marinated in masala and served with paratha bread. English influences sneak in, too, by way of Bubble and Squeak with leftover fish, and fish kebab and chips on a roll. Other dishes, like Mumbai fish pizza and swordfish stroganoff showcase Kochhar's profound creativity and sense of humor. While the book's scope is narrow, this volume more than fulfills its stated goal. Even better, its recipes are simple enough to make this powerfully flavorful food accessible at home.
