DEEP FRIED GROUPER WITH MANGO SAUCE

السلام عليكم
Peace be upon you

The homemade foods much delicious than outside because we cook it with lot of loves. I don't have any special gifts to be given to my partner on his last birthday on February 2013, so I cooked for him which makes him sooo happy! Maunye tak happy ek? Tak payah keluar duit tuk makan kat  luar and dia tak payah penat-penat drive and stuck in jam. Cuma penat drive ke rumah I aje lah hehehe. He loves my cooking very much and according to him, kalau I bagi racun pun dia akan makan hahaha.. That's not funny at all.

So today, I would like to share with you the recipe of deep fried grouper with mango sauce. Since my apple mango tree produced lot of fruits, I use the ripe ones to be added in my sauce / salsa.

DEEP FRIED GROUPER

Ingredients

1. 1 medium size grouper fish (cleaned, rinsed and pat dry)
2. 1 cup of corn flour (to coat the fish)
3. 1/2 tsp salt (to marinate the fish)
4. 800 ml vegetable oil

Method

1.  Marinate the fish with salt and coat it with the corn flour.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and deep fried the fish until golden brown for both side. Put aside.

MANGO SAUCE / SALSA

Ingredients

1. 3-4 tbsp cooking oil
2. 3-4 tbsp chilli paste (I blend dried chillies with shallot, garlic and shrimp paste)
3. 1/2 cup mango juice (I'm using the ripe mangoes)
4. 1/4 cup ripe mango (diced)*
5. 2-3 tbsp fish sauce
6. 1/4 cup white sugar
7. 2-3 tbsp ketchup (tomato sauce)
8. 1/4 cup pineapple (diced)*
9. 1/4 cup red capsicum (diced)*
10. 1/4 cup yellow capsicum (diced)*
11. 1/4 cup cucumber (diced)*
12. 1/4 cup coriander leaves (copped)
13. 100ml -200ml water
14. 2 tbsp corn flour (for thicken)

Method

1. In a medium sauce pan, heat the cooking oil. Add chilli paste and cook for 5 minutes or till frangrance. Add ketchup, sugar, mango juice and fish sauce and mix them well.

2. Pour the water into the sauce pan and let it boil. Once boiled, mix the corn flour with water and pour into the sauce. Add the * ingredients and let it boil again till the sauce lil bit thicken.

3. Place the fish on a plate and pour the sauce over the fish and garnish with copped coriander leaves. Ready to serve.

Note :

1. Kalau nak nampak cantik, belah perut ikan sampai ke belakang dan masa menggoreng kembangkan ikan tu macam rama-rama and deep fried belah bawah dulu..baru lah nampak cantik bila ikan on the plate. :)

2. Tujuan coat ikan dengan corn flour ialah untuk dapatkan ikan yang rangup walaupun dah di tuang sos.

This recipe kind a similar with sweet sour barramundi but for deep fried grouper with mango salsa, I just added the mango juice for the awesome taste.
