Birds eye chilli (cut fine) To taste fish sauce 1/3 cup lime, lemon and orange juice (in equal amounts) To taste, grated palm sugar Put all the ingredients in a jar and give it a good shake and set aside Method 1. Heat the oven and grill the fish for 20 minutes until it is crisp on both sides. It can also be pan fried in a lightly oiled skillet. 2. Remove from oven and when slightly cooled break it up. Now put it into a food processor and pulse it till it resembles bread crumbs. Set it aside. 3. Heat enough oil to fry the fish in small batches until it is crispy. Best would be to take teaspoon full and drop it into the oil. Do not over crowd the skillet. Give the fish enough room to move. When ready drain on kitchen paper towels. Set aside. 4. In a bowl add in the onions, cucumber, mint leaves, and coriander leaves and dressing, give it a good toss. 5. Add in the fish, peanuts and lime zest, give it a light toss. 6. Serve at once. * This goes well wrapped in lettuce leaves or serve with rice ** Fish can be fried a day in advance and kept in an air tight container Recipe from the kitchen of Uma Pushpanathan  Uma Pushpanathan is a global gourmand and arts enthusiast.
