Sura Puttu

Sura Puttu (fish puttu) is one of my favourite dish. It is a simple and easy dish prepared with less oil thsn in fish fry. Fish Puttu is done with Sura/ Shark. But can be done with any of the fish fillets.

I tried it with Tillapia fish. Pall Sura is good for delivered ladies. This can be cooked in less than 10 minutes. Puttu is one easy way to make kids eat fish.


Ingredients:

Paal Sura/ Shark - 500 gm
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Water - 2 cups
Oil - As required
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - 10 nos
Green Chillies - 5 nos
Onion - 1 cup (finely chopped)
Black Pepper - 1 tsp crushed
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tsp
Salt - As required

Method:

1) Cut wash and clean sura. Cook shark with turmeric powder, salt and water in a pan for 5 - 10 mins. You can also pressure cook it just for 2 whistle and remove from stove immediately. You can also add ginger garlic paste while cooking or add it later.

2) Drain sura, once it cools down, peel the skin and remove the bone part. Make it to crumbles.

3) Heat oil in a pan (irumbu kadai), add mustard seeds, curry leaves and saute it for few seconds, add ginger garlic paste and saute it for another 30 secs. Now add green chillies, onions and saute it untill onion changes colour to golden brown.

4) Now add the crumbled shark and salt amd mix well. Make sure you add salt after tasting as we have added salt in water while cooking.

5) Now cook untill moister goes away.

6) Finally add crushed pepper and coriander, mix well and switch off the stove.

7) Serve hot as a side dish.

Sura puttu is ready to be enjoyed.

Note:

1) If you like, can add shredded coconut which will add flavour.

2) While cooking this dish, if you feel your shark is getting dry, sprinkle some water with the tip of your fingers.

3) Red perl onions (Chinna vengayam) add great taste.

4) You can try this with crab meat and name it as crab puttu.
