Pan-Fried Navaga

Love spicy dishes? Cook navaga this way and enjoy! This recipe gives you juicy, fragrant fish. I dial the spice level and the thickness of the sauce up or down depending on what I'm serving it with. It's also one of our favorite meatless recipes — let me introduce you. (Navaga is a mild white fish in the cod family; any lean white fish works well here.)

    1. Thaw, clean, and rinse the navaga. Season with salt and pepper. 2. Scatter a tablespoon of flour into the skillet, add vegetable oil, and stir lightly. Once the flour starts to sizzle, fry the fish, cooking each piece until lightly golden. 3. In a separate skillet, sauté the carrot, cut into thin sticks, in vegetable oil. Once the carrot softens, add the chopped onion and cook a few minutes more. 4. Sprinkle in the sugar, pour in the vinegar, add the tomato paste, and season with salt to taste. 5. Add the sauce to the fish along with the bay leaf, cloves, and allspice. Gently fold the fish into the sauce. 6. For a thinner sauce, add water. Bring it all to a boil and let it simmer gently until done. Serve with or without a side dish. Enjoy!
