Crispy Baked Coconut Crusted Fish

Baked Coconut Fish
Lately, high protein and low carb meals are quite common at our place, especially on weekdays. Beans, lentils and sea food are the best options for such a low calorie meal. 
Baked crunchy fish with potato wedges and some grilled veggies makes everyone happy at our place. If you liked Potato Crusted Baked Tilapia, you'll definitely like this coconut flavored fish too.

Ingredients:
Fish Fillets - 1 pound
Desiccated (Dry) Coconut - 1/4 cup
French Fried Onions - 1/4 cup
Rice Flour - 1/4 cup
Red Chili Powder - 1 tsp
Lemon Juice - 2 tbsp
Salt
Oil

How to bake Crunchy Coconut Fish:
  • Cut each fish fillet into 2 pieces or bake it whole. Sprinkle some salt and lemon juice on the fish pieces. Set it aside for about 20 minutes.
  • Grease a baking tray with oil or cooking spray.
 
  • In a big plate, add coconut, rice flour, chili powder and salt. Crumble the fried onions with your hands and add it to the plate. Mix all the ingredients well.
  • Coat the fish pieces in the coconut and flour mix, one at a time. Place them on the greased baking tray. If time permits, refrigerate the coated fish for 20 - 30 minutes. Apply some more cooking spray to the coated fish.
  • Instead of rice flour, you can use all purpose flour/maida. No exact recipe or particular ingredients here. Coat the fish in any crust you like - crushed corn cereal flakes, crushed rice cereal flakes, potato powder.
  • Preheat the oven at 375 degrees F. Bake the fish for 15 - 20 minutes. Bake it longer for a crispy crust.
Serve hot Crunchy Coconut Fish with Baked Potato Fries and sauteed veggies. Tartar sauce would be a perfect dip for this fish.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.
