SWEET AND SOUR FISH
There are so many recipes relating to this Sweet and Sour Fish but this one really suits my taste and you can adjust the hotness according to your liking. For the vegetables you can add whatever you have like capsicum, carrot or pineapple. This recipe does not use any thickening agent. First step you have to fry the fish which is coated with turmeric and salt then transfer onto a plate and pour the prepared sauce on it or cook the fried fish with sauce for few minutes, the choice is yours.
