- Garlic Cloves 8-10
- Ginger 1-inch piece
- Black Pepper Kernels 1 tsp
- Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
- Cloves 4-5
- Cinnamon 1/2 inch
- Tamarind Pulp 2-3 tbsp

For the Fish
- Pomfret Fish 3-4

METHOD:
Serving Size: 2-3
Clean and wash the pomfrets. Make deep slits on both sides or butterfly the fish for stuffing.
Rub with salt and turmeric. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
Blend all the ingredients into a thick, smooth Recheado masala paste.
Stuff the masala inside the slits and coat the entire fish well.
Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the fridge, for the best flavor.
Heat 4-5 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the fish for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, and the fish is cooked through.
Serve hot with rice, lemon wedges, and onion rings.
NOTE:
This is a classic Goan dish. The name is derived from the Portuguese word 'recheio', which means 'to stuff'.
