As the name suggests, Fish Amritsari originated in the town of Amritsar, Punjab in the north of India. The city is the meeting point of thrdee prolific rivers and hence a lot of freshwater fish is abundant. So, I find it best to use a mild-flavoured, white flaky fish that is local to where you are.
Boneless pieces of fish marinated with ginger, garlic, species, gram flour, crushed Ajwain (Carrom Seeds) and coriander seeds are essential. Deep-fried till crispy and served with fresh green chutney.
Modelled on the old Irani cafés of Bombay – which were a meeting place for people from all backgrounds and cultures to share stories over chai – Dishoom burst onto the London restaurant scene in 2010 and its popularity hasn’t waned a jot since.
