And this particular version is available in India or the neighboring countries.

Cuse you just can’t help but let go those super savers 😉
Yes, that happened to us this week and I realized ‘WHAT‘ exactly I had done when we were trying to store everything in our already overflowing fridge!
So guess what our brunch menu might look like … Bazinga!
Now, I have been making this recipe since I was 17, and no, I’m not telling you how many years it has been until – (Ha Ha) and I can probablycook thiseven in my sleep.
The beautiful orange color you’re seeing is from the chili-garlic schezwan sauce (recipe here) that I’ve used and the broccoli is lightly sauteed with the mix, once the sauce n fish is ready.
The taste comes from the shallow fried fish which has been marinated in a spicy batter and you can go a notch up or down depending on your spice level.
This recipe is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy with delicious flavors.
This Broccoli Fish in Sweet-Spicy Sauce is usually served with plain rice or you can do a light stir-fry rice or serve it with any other sidelike quinoa/noodles and even bread.
(I’ve had it with baguette once…as I was super lazy to cook anything more than this).
Try this recipe soon and kick-start your weekend or weekday meal.
What are your weekend plans? Are you visiting someplace new or just chilling with friends/family at home?
I’ve not yet decided but I’m definitely not buying any more products for this week for sure 😉
