Goan Mackerel Rechaedo

Wash the cleaned and cut mackerel and apply salt, the first amount of turmeric and the red chili powder and keep aside.

In a spice grinder or small food processor grind together the ginger, garlic, cilantro, grated coconut, cumin, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, green chili, peppercorns, cloves, and the second amount of turmeric powder with vinegar.

Now combine the ground masala with the chopped onion and place it on one side of two of the fillets of mackerel. Add a second fillet on top of each or fold the stuffed mackerel sides together. Coat it with semolina.

Place a small layer of oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot carefully add both pieces of stuffed fish. Fry the fish till crisp on both sides and done (fish will flake easily when done).

Serve hot with rice.
