- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- Wash thoroughly and cut the fillet into 1" pieces. In a deep bottomed pan, add 1 n 1/2 to 2 cups of water with salt, pepper and half the juice of lemon. Add the fish pieces to it , cover and let boil until it absorbs all the water. Keep aside and let cool.
- In a pan add a tbsp of butter, add the chopped onion and Jalapeno pepper, fry until the onion turns translucent. Do not brown the onions. Keep aside and let cool.
- In a mixer grinder, add the fish pieces , onion and jalapeno fry, grated coconut , a handful of chopped coriander ,rest of the lemon juice and grind to a smooth paste.
- Remove the fish dough in a pan ,add the egg whites, blend on medium high until the fish dough becomes soft and fluffy.
- Lastly add heavy cream , and blend on low for not more than a minute.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In the meantime , boil water in a pan to be used later for baking pudding.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 9" loaf pan heavily with butter. Sprinkle the bread crumbs tipping the pan to evenly distribute the crumbs. Also grease a aluminium foil big enough to cover the loaf pan.
- Pour the mixture in the loaf pan, bang the pan gently on the counter for a couple of times to remove any air bubbles.
- Seal the loaf pan with the greased foil, place the pan in a deep baking tray , add boiling water way up till it covers 3/4 of the sides of the loaf pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a tester inserted inside comes out clean.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes, pour off any extra liquid. Run a knife around the edges, hold a serving platter on top of the pan and quickly invert so that the pudding comes out smoothly. Be very careful while removing the pudding on the platter :-)
- Serve hot with vegetables and mashed potato as part of meal, can also serve cold with sandwich.
