My 10 year old is a self-appointed food critic. Sometimes, I think this little foodie monster has been created by her father who loves to cook.

Among my foodie friends, she's famous as Choti Malkin. And then there's the equally famous Badi Malkin -- her mom and my wife -- who is rather hard to please when it comes to non-vegetarian food, which, folks, happens to be the forte of this banda who loves to cook.

When faced with the challenge of pleasing them both, I have a few recipes that serve as my saviours. One of them is Stuffed Pomfret, the dish I am going to cook for you today.

Both my gals love it, which makes it a sure-shot winner in my book. Mere do anmol ratan relish it in silence and then spread on the bed like chaadars for their siestas, much to the satisfaction of this papa chef.

Stuffed pomfret is an all-time favourite in the Warty home. You can pair it with dal and rice or simply have it as a meal by itself. Coconut, coriander and chillies blend together into a soft filling that perfectly balances with a fish that is crisp on the outside.

Try it once and I guarantee that you will definitely be making it again.

This recipe is best made using coconut oil, but if that is a taste you don't like, you can use any oil of your preference.
