Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #32 - Curried Fish Roti Rolls
As the steem price continued dropping and my pantry was running on empty, I had to scratch to the nether-depths and all I found was a tin of pilchards.
Ugh I hear you say, but believe you me, you can make a divinely fragrant curry with that one tin of Pilchards, tinned Fish Curry being very popular here in my home town of Durban, South Africa.
So I thought I would introduce you to Curried Fish Roti Rolls with this my second entry for Week #32 of @jaybird's fabulous fun Steemit Sandwich Contest.
Ingredients required:
Method:
Brown garlic & diced onion in the following spices:
Mustard Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Chilli Powder, Roasted Coriander Powder, Masala, Cloves, Turmeric.
Add diced Tomatoes, Coriander, Ginger & Garlic Paste plus Bay leaves, Star Anise & Cinnamon Stick & cook over low heat.
Add pre-cooked diced potatoes and salt to taste.
Cook over a low heat till potatoes are soft.
Add whole tinned Pilchards in Tomato Sauce.
Deliciously spicy tinned fish curry.
Place Curry leaves on top, stir through for even more amazing flavour.
Assembling the roti roll- place a nice helping of curry in the centre, top with fresh dhania.
Fold over the sides to enclose curry.
Hubby has been hovering but has to wait a tad longer for the photo shoot to come to an end :)
Aha, he eventually got to take a bite of the roti roll, oozing with delicious tinned fish curry, now he's happy & back to the telly :)
.
PS I hear steem has increased by 26 % today, so that's a bit of good news for us :)
Edit:
For those not familiar with Pilchards - they belong to the same family as Sardines, but are larger, all belong to the herring family.
Further, they cost very little here in South Africa and have super health benefits - quoted from health24.com's diet doc
Pilchards and sardines are an excellent source of high quality protein and do contain omega-3 fatty acids - and this at a reasonable price. According to the SA Food Tables, canned pilchards in tomato sauce, contain approx. 370 mg of sodium (salt) per 100g, so you could rinse them with water before eating them to remove the salt. The same applies to sardines. Removing the tomato sauce from pilchards is a pity though as tomatoes, esp canned ones are particularly rich in lycopene, a phytonutrient that protects against cancer. The fat content of the canned pilchards is 5.4g per 100g, which is lower than the 12.4g/100g of fat found in medium fat fish fried in margarine. The skin is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and the bones are rich in calcium, so it's best to eat the pilchards with skin, and bones. The same applies to sardines.

This seems interesting to me here in my country the sardine is very popular, it would be interesting to try it in this way, this very nice this post, we hope that the price of the SBD will recover
hoooo Nelly!
This looks awesome! And sounds pretty awesome! I cannot wait until the future allows us to instantly send sample of sandwiches like crypto transactions lol. I would have loved to test this one out!
Great array of spices used and pilchards (something I'd never heard of before) seem like they were a delightful choice. I like the idea of tinned fish curry immensely.
Also hilarious to me was that this is what you came up with when you were seemingly out of exciting ingredients. Still freakin' bomb!
Thanks @jaybird, Pilchards apparently are large sardines (of the herring family), super healthy as it's packed with Omegas and other good stuff, tastes delicious curried, but then I love anything fishy & of course loooove the spicy stuff!
Yea they looked and sounded good to me! I like sardines and anchovies and all that as well. I'm 50/50 on spicy stuff. I can't handle too much haha. I do like a bit obviously, just not when it overpowers everything else and all you can taste is your mouth on fire.
I know what you mean, should be spicy hot and not firy hot, the latter's just masking bad ingredients!
Hello friend, excellent this sandwich I think its flavor was incredible with those tortillas and has one of my favorite things the potatoes @lizelle
You are right @andrina, the flavour is amazing!
Such neat packets of healthy food..a lot of work too @lizelle :) Well done!
Hi @dianadee, it actually is something you can put together speedily especially with the excellent fresh roti's we have locally :)
Roti's are popular in your neck of the woods! Love the taste and simplicity of them @lizelle :)
It looks such a nice "bite size" meal @lizelle. Also not a fast food unhealthy option, either! :)
