Fish Curry
Ingredients
Fish (Mathi or Sardine) 1/2 kg
Coconut (grated) 1 cup
Coriander powder 3 tbsp
Red chilli powder 1 1/2 tbsp
Turmeric powder 1 tsp
Tomato 1
Ginger 1 piece
Green chillies 2 (make slits)
Kudampuli (fish tamarind or Gambooge) 4 to 5
Shallots (kunjulli) A handful
Oil As required
Curry Leaves A sprig
Preparation
It's a very simple dish !
Clean the fish and marinate it with 1 tsp of vinegar and 1 tbsp of salt and keep it aside. I used to cut off it's head but not tail.
In a frying pan put the grated coconut, saute it well till it turns brown colour. Add coriander powder and chilli powder, saute it very well, add turmeric powder and allow it to cool.
Take a mixer and grind the coconut mixture into a paste.
Keep kadai on low flame, add the ground masala, 2 cups of water, ginger (thinly cut), green chillies(into slits), tomato (cut into pieces), salt and allow it to boil till the raw smell goes.
Add kudampuli to it and let it boil till we get its sour taste in the gravy. (Approximately 10 to 15 minutes)
Now add the fish to the gravy. Keep it low flame for few minutes because sardine or mathi gets cooked soon. Pour it to a bowl.
Take kadai and heat oil , add shallots (cut into small pieces) and fry till it becomes brown colour .
Add this to the gravy and garnish with curry leaves !!
