Cooking: Tandoori Salmon

My tandoori obsession continues =]

Ingredients: Salmon Steak skin on. Tandoori paste. Cornflour. Oil. <--I'm not kidding, that is seriously all you need.
Method: Don't think it takes a genius to figure out the steps.

1. Cut salmon steak into bite size pieces (keep in mind it will shrink a little bit when you cook it)
2. Scoop a teaspoon of tandoori paste and mix, you only need enough to coat the pieces. About 1-2tsp per steak. (don't add too much as paste is normally quite salty)
3. Place 1tbsp(per steak) of cornflour on a little dish. 
4. Heat oil in pan.
5. Dip the SKIN of the salmon into the cornflour (light coating) and place into the pan skin side DOWN.
6. Repeat with all pieces, use your hands, it's way faster.
7. Once skin is crisp turn and cook all the other sides. 

Note: Salmon will be cooked all the way through as it is very hard to control when your pieces of salmon are that small. (I personally don't think it'll taste very nice rare in the middle with tandoori on the outside).

Serve with rice.

Eating Out: Little India, Foodcourts at every shopping centre

Special post today. Done by K仔(the boy). Anything written in this font is by me(teenagefoodie).  Pretty much headed down to Doncaster Shoppingtown/Westfield after a very very depressing Specialist Maths sac/test. Food makes me happy again, hopefully it does for the boy as well.

"twas a cloudy day in melbourne when we decided to eat some fooood! mainly because we were hungray. and westfield being westfield had many choices of FOOOD to offer. so we set off around the drum (why they call it a drum??) in search of a meal to appease our hunger. walked past nandos....but....nandos....is expensive!! and they were going 2 eat it anyways (might be eating it tomorrow).... and further down we walked.....the more outlandish the prices got -.- ("who pays 10dollars for a slice of pizza, chips and coke? i can make two pizzas for less than 10 dollars"(yes i said this, but come on it was $10) and thus we arrived at an indian resturant and decided to have INDIAN. because someone was quite peckish and desired some tandooooooooOOooori chicken(hehe i wonder who...=). 
So ended up ordering a rice with two meats coz...lets face it, we don't exactly LOVE our vegies..... (vegies are nice, just that chickpea curry doesn't sound as nice as a meat curry)
Picked tandoori chicken and butter chicken....becoz...i mean...COMEON!! its CHICKEN!! (chicken is supposedly the healthier meat option yes?)

butter chicken was....very buttery and the sauce is the best part because you can add it to your rice and its SOOOOooooo buttery!! *droools* (i've learnt how to please this boy, give him some curry sauce and some rice or even better roti and he'll have a big smile on his face)
 tandoori chicken....does not taste like most tandoori chicken i've eaten. probably because being malaysian my mum jst chucks a LOT of spices which make it uber spicy. but this one wasn't. looked like CHAR SIu tho. very red =S maybe lacked a bit of flava, but thats my opinion.

Service: 6/10 its a food court.....though the guy did come buy and pick up our plate........so not bad

Atmosphere: 6.5/10 again...its a food court...but the view outside of shopping town wasn't too bad....except...couldn't see the city -.- too bad there was no awesum sun set

Food: 6.5/10 becoz...again=.=" sorry im repeatin myself, but its a food court. and i dont think tandoori chicken was too my liking, therefore the low score. though rice is really nice, apparently it's saffron rice. very buttery, but extremely DELICIOUS With the butter chicken sauce!!*DROOOOOOLS*

I love his writing style. Hope you enjoyed the post =)

Cooking: Tandoori Fish

Idea came from Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food cookbook. I really like the concept behind this book, of teaching others how to cook.

Ingredients: Piece of fish. Tandoori paste.
Methods: Spread a little tandoori paste all over the fish. (no need for yoghurt). Let it marinate if you want. Pan fry as per usual. However the tandoori paste does do something to the fish and makes it really soft and flaky so it falls apart really really easily. Simple

Looks a tad burnt and unappetising...but it tasted nice =)

Cooking: Tandoori Chicken Wings

Obsession with tandoori chicken started yesterday and mum bought chicken wings today which made me ask whether we could have tandoori chicken for dinner. And for some miracle reason we had a pack of tandoori paste in the pantry!!!! Just followed the instructions on the packet and grilled them in the oven. 

 Marinating

Under the grill, so hard to take a picture

They don't look like they're tandoori chicken wings.

The flavour wasn't strong enough, I think it's because we used chicken wings instead of thighs

Yesterdays tandoori chicken tasted so much nicer. 

Don't forget to eat your vegies. 

( I was bored waiting for the chicken wings to be done and I had the mini tripod out, so practicing camera skills.)
