Ingredients

For the Fish
250 g dori fish
1 egg (beaten)
Cornstarch To coat the fish
For the Sauce
4 salted egg yolks
100 ml liquid milk
2 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)
A handful of green onions Chopped
A pinch of parsley Chopped
10 curry leaves
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Sugar, to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting the dori fish into bite-sized pieces. Coat each piece with the beaten egg, followed by a generous dusting of cornstarch to create a crisp exterior.

  2. In a hot skillet, fry the coated dori pieces until they turn golden brown, then remove and set aside on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

  3. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the curry leaves and minced garlic until fragrant, releasing their rich aroma.

  4. Add the chopped green onions and parsley, cooking until they just wilt, adding fresh flavor to the mix.

  5. Gently incorporate the mashed salted egg yolks into the pan, followed by the liquid milk. Stir continuously to combine, ensuring a smooth sauce.

  6. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar to balance the flavors, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

  7. Once the sauce has cooled slightly, fold in the fried dori pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  8. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful dish, showcasing the rich flavors of salted egg and crispy fish. Bon appétit!
