Walking along the streets of Vinhorady (Praha) on Wednesday evening, Hector was passing a Spice shop, Fish Masala caught the eye. It turned out to be out of date and so the featured box was purchased. Tonight, Hector would serve Baked Fish and Aloo Taare Ko, a variation on Fish & Chips. This was also the first opperchancity to try out the new Tawa. One Paratha Doughball was defrosted.
The packet suggested the Spice Mix be mixed with Garlic Paste which was not my original intention, why not?
The Paste was applied to the Haddock and allowed to sit for the afternoon. A Baked Vegetable Topping was envisaged and so Tomatoes and an Onion were finely chopped, some Fish Oil was mixed in to add more bite.
The Fish was wrapped in aluminium foil and baked for half an hour which gave plenty of time to prepare the Aloo Taare Ko. The Paratha was rolled and heated on the Tawa. All was going well until the point of serving, I needed more hands. 
The Paratha therefore got a bit burnt and turned too crispy. The Fish came out of the oven far too wet for my liking. Next time, no Garlic or Tomato. The Aloo Taare Ko always works, fried Onions and no pre-boiling of the Potatoes.
Having missed Hector’s cooking, Marg was most appreciative, no Salad for tea tonight. The Paratha was still enjoyable, although crispy, it was far from biscuit-like which I cannot tolerate. I suspect I had rolled it too thin.
Despite the wetness, the Fish was still edible but had nothing like the hoped for Flavours, this was little more than a Fish Stew. The Aloo Taare Ko saved the day, Dry, Spicy, full of Flavour. I should make this more often.
