It didn't say to use full fat so I used 2% which was what I had in my fridge, but it curdled when adding the butter to the boiling yogurt. But the flavor was there. I did add 2 tsps of sugar as other recipes similar to this list as an ingredient. In fact Madhur Jaffrey lists 1 tsp of sugar into the sauce in his origianl recipe. <br /><br />I used sunflower oil instead of vegetable oil which can be inflammatory.<br />I did not cut my fish up into pieces. I left them whole. Tomorrow I will try this recipe with chicken. Sauce is so good.<br /><br />I didn't pour the cooked sauce into a sauce pan, melt butter and pour it over the fish, after baking for 30 minutes. I boiled the yogurt sauce prior to baking and then poured it over the fish and baked for 15 mins at 400 degrees F.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, there are many of this same recipes that follow these steps on the Internet, some also saute the onions before layering the baking dish. However, the original creator of this dish, Madhur Jaffrey, did not saute the onions and he did not heat up the sauce from the baked dish after baking either. He threw the pieces of butter into the baking dish once it was removed from the oven and just let it melt over and then served, although he did request to finely slice the haddock as well.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to have some more tonight. I had a Greek salad with it and a 1/2 a cup of rice pilaf.

Why not just heat up the yogurt sauce prior to baking, add butter and then pour it over the fish and bake? Then when the fish is done, plate it and pour the baked yogurt sauce over the fish? Voila! It's done. Also by having to put the already baked fish back in the oven while you're adding the butter to the hot yogurt sauce on the stove top, is cooking the fish even more than the 30 minutes, which in my opinion is an awfully long time to be baking cod to begin with. Even when you turn the oven off it's still incredibly hot and it would continue to cook the COD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024027673419020904.post-55126526231286368452012-11-01T05:49:39.853-05:002012-11-01T05:49:39.853-05:00So pleased you dipped your toe in the water with M...So pleased you dipped your toe in the water with Madhur Jaffrey, and hope you will develop a love affair with Indian food.
