My Kitchen and Me

Sardine comes very handy when there's nothing left in the fridge to cook. We normally keep a few tins for 'emergencies'. Here's a simple sardine recipe! Ingredients: Sardine - 1 big tin Onions (sliced) - 1 Garlic (chopped) - 3 cloves Dried chilies (cut into 1-inch lengths) - 3 Cumin seeds - 1 tsp Curry leaves - 1 spring Chili powder - 2 tbsp Tamarind juice - 1/4 cup Salt and pepper to taste Pour out the sardines onto a plate and remove the middle bones. Heat some oil and sauté cumin seeds, onions, garlic, dried chilies and curry leaves until fragrant. Add chili powder and tamarind juice. Keep stirring. Add a little water if necessary. Put in the sardines and break them up a little. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5-10 minutes. Dish out and serve.
