In a large mixing bowl, put breadcrumbs and season them with pepper, chilly flakes and salt.
Coat the fish fillets with egg white. Now put the fish into the large bowl and coat with the crumbs.
Grill in an oven for about 20-25 mins, till the fish is done. You may want to flip the fish around the half way point.
Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon.
Pat the fish (Red Snapper) dry after cleaning it. Wrap the baking tray in foil for easy cleanup once done.
Make a paste with olive oil, salt, garlic powder and chilly powder. Rub this paste all over the fish. Don’ forget to rub it into the stomach cavity as well. Along with the fish, drop in a couple of onion wedges, garlic pods, sweet potato and lemon slices into the tray.
Bake in a preheated oven at 175C for about 25-30 mins.
Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Enjoy.
Make a mix, dredge the fish. Spread some flour, pat the fish. Heat the oil, fry it up.
For the mix, combine chilly powder, turmeric powder, garlic powder and salt.
Rub this all over the fish fillets, let it marinate. Just before frying, coat the fish with all purpose flour and shake off the excess.

I came back home from a vacation to a shelf full of milk packets in the fridge. There was almost 6 liters of full cream milk. These were all 500 ml packets and the oldest packet was about 12 days old. The best way to use up all the milk is to make it into cottage cheese.
This is how I did it.
Arranged all the packets by date. I started with the newest and progressed to the oldest. I took a large vessel, brought 2 cups of water to a boil.
I emptied the newest packet into a dish. Added this into the container. Now emptied the second packet into a dish and waited for the milk to come to a boil. As soon as it did, I added this milk.
Kept repeating this with every packet till I reached packet number 9. When I added this to the boiling milk, it curdled. So I stopped at the 4.5 liters and started stirring the boiling milk and switched off the heat. When all the milk solids had separated, I added some kasuri methi and chilly flakes to it.
Mixed well and strained the paneer into a cheese cloth. Squeezed out as much water as possible and then left it compressed under my mortar-pestle.
Two hours later, soft and delicious paneer was ready.
Enjoy.
A can of Tuna in brine or oil. A 100 grams of Feta.
Mix the two with a fork so they are all crumbly together. Do NOT add salt without tasting this.
Now start adding in flavors and texture. Chopped onion, chopped green chilly, crushed pepper, chopped fresh coriander, capers, olives, a tablespoon of mayonnaise…whatever you like.
Spread on a toasted bun or bread…Enjoy.
The bread I used is of course home made. My new hack for super soft bread, replace butter with ghee. I will post the dough proportions once I am fully satisfied with it.
Moong daal is one of my favourite lentils. It cooks pretty fast and there is no need for a long soaking either.
Heat up some oil and saute the onions and green chillies till the onions are just about beginning to brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and once they lose the raw edge, add the lentils. Mix well. Sprinkle the turmeric and coriander powders. When it looks like things are beginning to stick to the pan, add the tomato and salt.
This will give enough moisture to free up everything. Cook till oil starts to separate and it looks like everything is again beginning to stick to the pan.
Now add the coriander and once they have softened up, add enough water to submerge it all. Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes. Check if the lentils are fully cooked.
Dry up the liquids on high heat. Add a little butter to free up everything and make it shine.
Enjoy.
This might be the easiest recipe, I have ever posted.
Get Tilapia fillets. Liberally coat it with olive oil, crushed pepper, cumin and salt. Put in a baking tray. Drop in some onion wedges and garlic.

Just a couple of minutes to make this yum dish.
Into a pan add some butter and oil. When hot add in a chopped green chilly and lots of crushed garlic. After a minute or two add in half the amount of chopped dill leaves you want in this dish. When they have reduced to just a fraction, add the prawns and remaining dill leaves. Season with salt.
Cook covered on medium heat for about 4-5 mins.
Open the lid and move to high flame. Reduce till there is no liquid left.
Enjoy.
Party Snack.
Make a dry mix with 3 parts of flour (maida) and 1 part of corn flour. Season this with salt, chilly powder, turmeric and anything dry.
Add boneless fish fillets cut into finger sized pieces. I used Basa but the same will work with any white fish.
With very dry fingers toss the fish to coat it well with the dry mix.
Deep fry.
Enjoy.
