Ayubowan Food Lovers,
Didi you all miss me???? I am really sorry that i could not come to you last couple of days. Well my pc broke and i was so busy, that i did not even have time to make it :D Doing two jobs and taking care of a house is not funny ;)
Now now lets get back to business...
last week myself and some family members went to the fish market and saw these beautiful fresh water lobsters for sale. aren't they gorgeous??
Ashan made it really difficult for us buying around 6 lobsters and making our pockets empty within few seconds.. Typical Ashan... hi hi...
Let me show you the dishes we made. nothing so professional or fancy. Just our crazy ideas put on to a plate...
Fresh Water Lobster Dishes
Seasoned and fried lobsters by Ashan
This was super yummy...So it was the easy way of preparing...1st he took off all the poop and dirt out of it. For seasoning he used paprika, salt, garlic powder and some sauce (That's what he told me. He generally keeps a secret ingredient away from my knowledge to impress me lol). Then he deep fried it till its perfectly cooked. And then wallah.... He served it with a cheesy sauce... yummmmmmmm I Would give this dish a 8 out of 10....
Baked lobster with stew
Our granny loves lobsters and hates its shells.. hi hi..... so i prepared her a dish with a stew specially for her.
I 1st de-shelled the lobster and seasoned with some salt, pepper,oil, a speciale sri lankan spice called Kalu kudu / Black curry powder and fresh tamarind juice. (I love when sea food has both sweet and sour punch in it... )
Then i baked it for couple of minutes on a greased tray. ohhh the aroma you get when you are baking it, is awesome...... Now it was my time for making the stew...
Well it's my own special stew so some of you will love it and some of you will hate it... :D not everyone loves sweet and sour in one spoon...
1st dissolve some corn flour in seasoned vegetable water ( that you can easily get by the vegetables we will be preparing for the same dish...) Then dice 1 fresh carrot and an onion. Prepare your green peas (i used pre cooked peas.) and sweet corn (half a small can).
Now comes the easy part... add a bit of butter to a pan and shallow fry the onion. then pour some water to it and add the carrots to cook. Once the carrots are tender drain the water to a separate pan to make the corn flour as mentioned above. Then under medium heat cook all the above ingredients in the corn flour dissolve to make your stew. season as you wish.. but i prefer black pepper and salt..
Finally i add some lemon sauce on top of the lobster and served as above to my granny.. She loved it.... :D
Sooo what do you think? Am pretty sure there are 1000 other ways to cook it better... if you have any recipes i would be so glad to get to know them.
Then catch ya soon... have a great day.... TC GBU
With Spice,
