I have tried fresh fish eggs thoran back in India and was taken in by the taste of it. Today i didn't have any fresh fish eggs in hand but had an imported Tarama carp roe caviar and made thoran out of it. Since carp roe is usually preserved with salt, i didn't add any additional salt when making the thoran. After the preparation of the thoran, salt level was a bit on the higher level. This recipe will be great to try with fresh fish eggs, if you can get some. But even with caviar, it turned out good.Ingredients
8 oz bottle - Caviar
1/4 tsp - Turmeric powder
1/4 tsp - Red chili powder
1 - Kodampuli, washed
Seasoning
1/2 tsp - Mustard seeds
2 sprigs - Curry leaves
5 big - Shallots, chopped
4 - Green chili, chopped
1/2 '' piece - Ginger, grated
1/2 cup - Freshly grated coconut
Coconut oil
Method
1 ) Cook caviar with turmeric powder, red chili powder, kodampuli and 1 cup water on medium heat covered, till caviar is cooked and all the water has evaporated. Caviar will cook very fast.
2 ) In another pan, heat oil and pop mustard seeds, then add curry leaves, chili, ginger and shallots. Fry till onion is lightly browned. Then add cooked caviar and coconut. Add more oil if necessary. Fry on low heat till all the ingredients have blended in and caviar is fried a bit. Take off the stove.
Serve with rice.
Fish eggs Fry - Marinate with little red chili powder, turmeric powder and salt. Then fry in oil till cooked well. This simple recipe is very tasty.
