hey guys welcome to a brand new episode
0:01
and today I'm feeling a bit undoing and
0:04
I'm gonna be serving the most amazing
0:06
tandoori grilled salmon some cucumber
0:08
raita and some basmati rice so let's get
0:10
started right now
0:11
so first let's get started with our
0:12
writer all right that is basically a
0:15
type of salad and instead of using
0:17
traditional Western ingredients like
0:19
salt pepper and some vinaigrette it's
0:20
made with yogurt and the yogurt really
0:22
adds a nice cooling effect and a nice
0:24
contrast but the nice thing gooey
0:26
flavors from the salmon or any other
0:28
spicy curry now the right time will cook
0:30
today it's gonna be with cucumber and
0:32
yogurt it's one of the most common
0:34
writers in India and it's one of my
0:37
favorites
0:38
now I really suggest that you find a
0:40
nice quality roasted cumin powder this
0:43
is one of the key components of this
0:44
salad now you can make this right our
0:46
hours in advance or even the day before
0:48
and it will stay well and the flavors
0:51
will just melt together even better so
0:53
I'm going to start by grating my
0:54
cucumber and what I've done is I've
0:56
taken the pulp out I've done that so to
0:59
make sure when we grate this it doesn't
1:01
become all mushy just want that nice
1:03
firm flesh just grate this using that
1:06
spoon of the big hole so what she'll be
1:10
left with are these kind of noodles
1:13
grated cucumber and having it this size
1:17
will help give the salad some bite when
1:20
you have it now in this bowl here I have
1:22
some yogurt and now let's start adding
1:24
in some spices start with your nice
1:27
roasted ground cumin or touch dried
1:30
mango powder some red chili powder and
1:32
black salt or rock salt that nice
1:37
sarnath mix this all up now into this
1:40
add in your cucumber they can add the
1:45
seasonings the spices according to your
1:48
preference if you we like the flavor of
1:50
the ground cumin add more until you get
1:53
the flavors but you really love now mix
1:55
this up again and there you have it
1:58
that's your simple cucumber raita or a
2:00
simple cucumber salad some yogurt and
2:02
some dried spices just let this chill it
2:05
in the fridge and now let's start
2:06
working on our rice and I'm so now let's
2:08
start with our marinade for our salmon
2:10
so in my bowl here I have
2:12
some olive oil and into this I'm gonna
2:14
add in about a teaspoon of ginger and
2:16
garlic paste next let's tally some of
2:19
our spices adding a pinch of salt
2:21
handful of crushed dried fenugreek
2:25
leaves
2:26
where are our two teaspoons of red chili
2:29
powder
2:30
now you can add this according to your
2:31
preferences next some garam masala we
2:34
don't want to over spice this and to
2:36
really lift this up nice squeeze thank
2:39
you if this all a nice mix and you have
2:41
that lovely red color I'll just add in
2:44
your salmon and toss this around and we
2:47
decode it well and there you have it
2:49
that's it for the marinade I was really
2:51
gonna help it if we just let this sit
2:53
and just absorb all those spices I just
2:55
set this aside in the fridge or at least
2:57
an hour for it to marinate the longer
3:00
the better now but thirty or so minutes
3:02
before we start cooking
3:03
take out your salmon from the fridge and
3:05
let it come to room temperature this way
3:07
you'll be able to cook the salmon evenly
3:09
and avoid overcooking so I've already
3:11
cooked my basmati rice and now we're
3:12
gonna finish this on the pan so in our
3:14
pan here have some olive oil heating on
3:16
medium heat and I'll crackle in some
3:19
cumin seeds we're gonna make a real
3:21
quick jeera rice or cumin spiked right
3:24
so let this turn reddish brown which is
3:28
gonna happen pretty quick at this point
3:30
you can do a lot of things you can add
3:32
some ginger ginger and onions and some
3:35
chilies till you want today I'm just
3:37
using some ginger we love the smell of
3:39
ginger it's really vibrant and will eat
3:41
fresh it's gonna go really well without
3:43
cucumber raita I've cut my ginger and
3:45
Julie ends and so that's all ten if
3:48
you're gonna cook really fast and once
3:50
the rawness is cooked out add in all of
3:52
your rice after you write too then just
3:56
mix it up real nice lower your meat for
3:59
you I shall inspect just ensure that
4:02
it's all incorporated now if it's mixed
4:05
well just turn off the heat and you can
4:07
see this is really fluffy and every
4:10
grain that's the beautiful well cooked
4:12
basmati rice it's all nice and fluffy
4:15
super delicious now let's quickly season
4:19
this with some salt and pepper salt
4:21
freshly ground pepper
4:23
if you can't just ground it up at home I
4:25
use a coffee grinder it's the best thing
4:28
ever
4:28
and now finally adding some freshly
4:31
chopped cilantro and your whites is
4:33
ready and there you have it guys that's
4:35
your rice and that looks amazing now
4:38
let's get on to the sound so now heat up
4:40
your grill and let's start cooking our
4:42
fish so my grill pan is heating up and
4:44
let this heat up on medium heat so my
4:46
pan is hot now I've let my salmon stay
4:49
out for these 30 min get the chill out
4:51
of the salmon and usually we put
4:53
presentation side down so put the nice
4:56
pink part on the grill and cook this on
5:09
each side for about 4 to 5 minutes
5:11
depending on the thickness we are going
5:14
for just over medium it's been about 4
5:16
minutes now and let's flip these babies
5:18
I'm using a fresh spatula here it's the
5:23
best way to handle fish let's turn this
5:26
on the side and that looks delicious oh
5:31

5:37
mmm I love these crispy bits here let us
5:42
cook on the other side for about three
