Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Vindaye is fried fish, usually tuna or marlin, turned in a paste of crushed mustard seed, turmeric and vinegar with sliced onion, garlic, ginger and chilli. It is a pickle more than a curry: sharp, yellow, oily, and better the day after it is made. Mauritians eat it cold or at room temperature, pushed into a buttered baguette as a "gajak" snack, or with rice and red beans. Octopus (ourite) gets the same treatment.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 12 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
