Baked Fish In Naadan Style
A traditional Kerala sweet snack made with care and a generous hand of ghee. The kind of thing grandmothers make for festivals and grandchildren make excuses to visit for.
Ingredientsfor 2 servings
- 1 nos Fish any big one that can be slit at the sides and stuffed
- 1 nos Onion — finely chopped
- 2 nos Green chillies — finely chopped
- 1 nos Tomato finely chopped, big
- 1/2 inch Ginger — crushed

Preparation
Step 1
Wash and clean fish. Make a slit at one side. Mix all the chopped ingredients together: onion, green chillies, tomato, ginger, vinegar, curry leaves with required salt. Stuff the mixture inside the fish.
Step 2
Place the fish on a piece of silver foil. Drizzle a little coconut oil over it. Sprinkle salt and cover with another piece of foil. Fold the edges so that the gravy doesn't leak out.
Step 3
Place the fish on a tray and bake for 10-15 minutes at oven temperature of 180 degrees.
Step 4
When done, you can sprinkle a little more coconut oil before serving with rice, else add chopped coriander leaves and relish with bread.
Tip
Jaggery burns easily. Melt it on low heat and always strain it to remove grit before adding it to the mixture.
