Canned Mackerel & Potato Sambal & Awards...♥

A quick glance at the my dish today...a simple Canned Mackerel Sambal & Potato Sambal. I was rushing for dinner last night and prepared this for my kids.

They had it with some parathas.

You may also use the canned sardine, my favourite is always Ayam Brand Mackerel :)




CANNED MACKEREL SAMBAL

Ingredients :~
  • 1 can mackerel, keep the sauce too
  • 2 medium sized potatoes ~ cut each into 6 ( deep fried in oil )
  • 3 cloves garlic ~ chopped
  • 1 large onion ~ sliced
  • 1 sprig curry leaves
  • 3 pcs dried chillies ~ cut half
  • 2 tbsp chilli powder
  • 1 tomato ~ cubed
  • salt to taste
  • oil

Method :~ 
  1. Heat oil in a wok and saute garlic, onion, curry leaves and dried chillies until fragrant. 
  2. Add in the mackerels (not the sauce) and stir gently, cover lid for 3 minutes. You will be hearing popping sounds! (I prefer the fish to be a little fried).
  3. Open the lid and stir and turn over the mackerels. 
  4. Now, add the sauce, chilli powder and salt. Stir thoroughly and leave to cook for another 3-5 minutes. 
  5. Lastly, add tomato cubes and fried potatoes and mix. Check for salt.
  6. Leave for another 1 minutes and dish out! Serve with hot rice or paratha or bread.

Note : 

* You may substitute tomato with 2 tbsp lime juice. Add in the end. 

* Fried potatoes are optional.


 
 


And it's now time for the Awards I received...

Firstly, the Chef Award is from Be@Home via email. Thanks to Bany Paul, the editor for considering my blog and passing me the award html :)



Second award from a dear blogger friend, Sonali Pradhan of Only Fish Recipes. She amazes you with her tantalizing fish recipes and of course others too...do check out her space for more! Thank you Sonali, sorry for posting them a little late. ;)

 



And final one, another Liebster Award from a new found blogger friend, Maha from Mahas Lovely Home. She too blogs her food in a way you would feel like grabbing the whole plate and having them on your own! Thank you for the thoughts Maha :)

  



I'd take the privilege to pass on the awards (The Versatile Blogger, Inspirational Blog Award and Liebster Blog) to some newly discovered blogs that I enjoyed visiting and drool as much as I could!!! :)
