Super lazy Saturday – I spent hours in the aisles of 99 Ranch looking for perfect sauces and oil for my fettish, to cook Vietnamese Pho. Well what can I say, I am ambitious. But when it came to put my ambitions into action, the lethargy of chopping the plethora of veggies etc came over me, and I settled for sea bass bhaja.. Momma taught me bhaja when she was here. I guess the key to bhajas is super hot oil, so you put the fish in and take it out, and it cooks in that minute or so of hot oil dip.
I did the following.. I made some modifications from the original bhaja recipe.. so try this out.. it was pretty yummm as Agam can attest.
