I usually make it with steamed fish, I season the fish with fish seasoning before steaming it.
ReplyDeleteFor the sauce, I use 1 tsp chili powder instead of 1 tbsp cause 1 tbsp makes it really spicy. I also substitute the 3/4 cup half and half with 1 can (170 ml)of low fat evaporated milk.
You can also substitute cornmeal with cornflour if you cant find cornmeal in the grocery stores.
Enjoy!
