Kerala Fish curry


My Note:
  • Clean the fish well as many times you can. 
  • Using coconut oil for frying and adding a tsp at the end adds taste to the curry. You can also use gingelly oil for frying.
  • It is said to put off the flame after adding fish.  I don't prefer so cook for about 10 minutes after adding fish.
  • After adding fish cook in low flame.
  • Prefer always to use crystal salt in your cooking
  • The curry goes well with Pulao, Rice, Briyani.
