Malayali fish curry

~*~*Malayali fish curry*~*~*~

This one is for all fish curry lovers out there..

Got this recipe for my colleague Sarah, who got them from her mother-in-law who hails from Malayali (a region in India).

I tried this out last week. And these are the comments I got so far “Wow, damn good man! Better than those in restaurant!”, “The curry is damn yummy…but the problem is there is not enough rice to go with it..all gone!”, “Very good curry girl. You make this dish next time we have a party ok?”. Positive responses all the way man! =)

Sounds delicious? Wait till u try them out…

It’s quite simple to DIY. And I’m gonna share it with u… :D

Here’s how you do it.

Ingredients

Fish cutlets
Chilli powder
Tumeric powder (kunyit)
Mustard seeds
Curry leaves
One big white onion
3 packets of coconut milk (fresh ones from the market if possible)
Green chilli
Red chilli
Lime
Tomatoes
Sugar
Salt

Make a thick paste out of chilli powder, tumeric powder and salt. Marinade the fish cutlets in this (overnight in the fridge is best).

Fry the marinated fish cutlets in hot oil and set aside- might want to put it on disposable kitchen towelettes so that it absorbs the oil.

Panfry the white onions, curry leaves and mustard seeds until the onions are glassy. Add in tumeric powder and tumis. Add in coconut milk, salt and sugar and lime to taste. Add in sliced tomatoes.... not for too long though or they will disintegrate. Pour it over the fried fish and viola!

Have fun with this new recipe :D
