Recipe – Perfect Probiotic Food

Term Probiotic is catching up fast. And you will hear the general advice of adding probiotic drinks or food with every meal or at least once a day. Won’t it be better if we know just one easy food recipe that does all and offers taste too?

Kimchi is a Korean recipe which is more like a classy version of the salad. Kimchi is made by fermentation which actually leads to the building of pr0biotic bacteria’s in the food. The sweet and sour taste of kimchi is worth making it. Here is a quick recipe for homemade kimchi.

Prepare Vegetables
Get one big head of cabbage. Cut it into quarters and remove the core. Now cut in into 1 – 2-inch square pieces. Rub the cabbage pieces with salt and weigh it down with something heavy. This will lead to removing green odour and fizz from the cabbage. After half an hour washes the cabbage with water 3 times.

Now cut 3 carrots and 1 scallion in long stripes.

Prepare paste/dressing
Mix one table spoon grated ginger, one table spoon grated garlic, one table spoon sugar, 2 – 3 table spoon Seafood flavours (optional) and 2 -3 table spoon of dried & crushed paprika (as per taste). Mix these ingredients well with the vegetables. Work on the mix unless vegetables are fully coated with the paste.

Put in Jar for Fermentation
Fill the coated vegetables in a glass jar. Leave an inch or two space for the brine to cover. Close the lid tightly and leave the jar for at least a day or maximum up to a week. One can start eating kimchi after a day or wait for more time for flours to combine.

Here you go. Your homemade kimchi is ready for a tasty supper.

Kerala Fish Curry With Coconut Milk
Author: Maria Jose Martin
Recipe type: Side Dish Cuisine: Kerala, South Indian, Indian
Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

King fish (nemeen) - ½ kg
Onion - 1 small, sliced
Small onion / shallots - 8-10, sliced
Crushed ginger & garlic - 1 tbsp, each
Green Chilly - 2-3, slit lengthwise
Chilli powder - 1 tbsp
Coriander powder - 1 tbspn
Turmeric powder - ½ tspn
Fenugreek powder (uluva podi) - ½ tspn
Cocum ( kudampuli ) - 2 - 4pieces (refer notes)
Medium thick coconut milk - 2 cups
Thick coconut Milk - 1 cup
Coconut oil
Salt
Curry leaves

Instructions
Heat oil in a manchatti (claypot) or a deep pan. Add crushed ginger & garlic & saute. Add small onion, onion, green chilli and stir. When the onion starts to brown add the masala powders. Cook this on low flame for 2-3 mins or till oil starts appearing.
Add cocum and salt. Add medium thick coconut milk and bring it to a boil. Reduce flame to the lowest and add cleaned fish pieces. Cook till the fish pieces are done, it will take around 20 - 25 mins on low flame. Add thick coconut milk and rotate the pan. Cook on low flame for 5-7 mins. Remove from fire.
The curry should be rested for sometime to help the flavours settle. It is ideal to make it one day in advance. It keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Notes

If the cocoum is too dry, soak it in 2 tbspn hot water for 10- 15 mins and add it to the masala along with the water. The qty of cocoum depends on how strong it is. You can start with adding 2 pieces and add more later on if required. Also, after making the curry, if you feel the taste of cocoum is too strong, remove a few pieces from the curry.

The curry tends to thicken as it rests, so adjust the qty of gravy accordingly. The cooking time of fish varies depending on the type and size of fish used.

We didnt do any tempering for this, but if you prefer you can crackle some mustard and add it to the curry. You can use any fleshy fish to make this curry.

When people who haven’t been to India picture it in their heads, I am almost positive they don’t picture a laid-back surf town. Maybe they’ve heard of Goa, famous for it’s beaches and parties, but Kovalam is a completely different kind of vibe. Instead of trance and acid, it’s slow, relaxed, and reggae fills the air.
