A Thai Christmas Warmer: Fish with Mango and Coconut Milk
 |
| Fish with Mango and Coconut Milk- A Thai Dish |
It might be some time before
I write part 2 of my kolkata trip. Specially with Christmas just around the
corner, with lights all around, insane shoppers, carol singers at Tesco, red
coats and jumping kids, I am tempted to give in to the festivity. So Kolkata
trip will be back later, for now let me enjoy Christmas. I will buy and
decorate my tree tomorrow and do bit of shopping (insane of course) for loved
ones (for those who are here in London, and those still staying in Kolkata will
be forgotten!!!!!!! ). However, as of today, I am doing bit of cooking, keeping
with the Christmas spirit.
I am making two fish dish-one
Thai and one Italian dish. Both the fish dishes are very easy and very very
quick. If you are thinking what to eat during the Christmas breaks, it might be
interesting to cook oriental one day and Italian the other among of course the
usual Christmassy cooking. Both the fish
dishes goes well with white rice, Pasta, noodle or on their own making them versatile.
Moreover, if you are treating people, this might bring interesting twist as
fusion food along with traditional Christmas roast and Brussels sprout. Who says
we cannot deviate – I would! Well, I
did!
