<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Notes</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">If you add the pulp and tempering seperately(this way) the tempering,peanuts will be more crispy and crunchy while eating.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">After tempering you can add tamarind extract (not the pulp)and cook till thick paste(takes 5-7mts) and add to the rice.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">tamarind pulp is the tamarind extract cooked until thick paste.</span></li>
</ul>

<ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Here i used urad dal with skin so i get bit brown shade.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">If you have no much time still you can prepare these with fresh batter.But personally like to get fermented.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">When you want to use fermented batter make sure your batter should be thick when you grind it bcoz after fermentation your batter will become loose.</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Fish is an excellent source of protein and can provide heart-healthy benefits -- depending on the type of fish you eat and How you eat. Some types of fish are high in mercury, and some can actually raise cholesterol levels.Types of fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, sardines and tuna always good to eat.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Baking, grilling or broil fish instead of frying it,is always an healthier option. and tastier too.Broiling or baking fish will keep your meal heart-healthy because it doesn't require butter,vegetable shortening,coconut oil or palm oil, all of which contain saturated fat.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Cook fish in olive oil and lemon instead of butter or shortening. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats, which can lower bad cholesterol that accumulates in the bloodstream. </span><br />

</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">When we marinate we usually use ginger garlic paste.Here i skipped using it bcoz it makes fish stick to the pan.I used to think if we dont use the paste it wont be tasty but i m wrong it was TASTY.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Putting lid makes fish to cook nicely with its own oil and wont spread the smell all over house.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">The spices we are adding should not dominate the flavor of fish.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">using curry leaves we can avoid the smell of sea food.</span></li>
