Whole Trout

As a Bengali I have grown up eating fish and rice as primary food. We used to eat fish in a very particular way, whatever way you cook it, fry it first to kill the smell and making it little hard so can be handled without breaking. Then put it i some sort of gravy to make and keep it soft. Today while I cooked in a hurry, thought of sharing this whole fish recipe that I made almost in no time (well, I always cut and clean the fish right after I bring it from the store).

Ingredients:

Trout, whole (gutted and cleaned, I have separated the heads for a different recipe), 
garlic powder 1tsp, 
salt to taste, 
vinegar 1/4 tsp, 
yogurt (about 1 tsp for one whole trout), 
cumin powder 1/2 tsp, 
coriander powder 1/2 tsp, 
red chili powder to taste, 
sliced onion 1/4 cup, 
oranges or lime slices, 
cilantro

Recipe:

• ·      Make diagonal slits in the trout
• ·      Mix yogurt with salt, garlic powder, vinegar, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder. Marinate the fish in this mixture for about 2-4 hours in the refrigerator
• ·      Spray some oil in a baking tray, and preheat the oven to 375F
• ·      Stuff the fish with oranges, onions, cilantro
• ·      Cook the fish for about 25 mins., broil to get a crunch

Serve hot with white or brown rice.
