தமிழ் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு விரைவில்

It is said, fish curry made with kudam puli stays fresh longer, traditionally this fish curry is made in a clay pot. I always prefer my clay pot. Fish curry in clay pot is authentic.

It is always said that this fish curry tastes better the next day. Its true 🙂 Im going to make this cooking simple by using my favorite spice masalas from eastern brand, eastern fish masala. So lets start:

தேவையான பொருட்கள் :

• 1/2 kg fish (I used Cheelavu/Seelavu)
• 2-3 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/2tsp mustard seeds
• 1/4tsp fenugreek seeds
• 10 நறுக்கிய சின்ன வெங்காயம்
• 4 pieces of tomato
• 1 green chilly
• 1 inch ginger sliced finely
• 5 or 6 cloves of garlic , sliced
• 3 pieces of Kudam puli shredded(soak puli for 10min)
• Eastern fish masala 2tbsp
• coconut paste 2tbsp(optional)
• 2 sprigs of Curry leaves
• சுவைக்க உப்பு

செய்முறை :

• Heat a claypot (or nonstick pan) with 2 – 3tbsp pf coconut oil, add in 1/4 tsp of fenugreek seeds and 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, allow it to splutter.
• Add in the sliced shallots, ginger, garlic, green chilly, tomato kudumpuli and curry leaves.
• You need to saute it till it tarts to get slightly brown.
• Put the fire on medium and add fish masala.
• Keep stirring or mixing until the raw flavor diminishes and fish masala is lightly roasted.
• Add coconut paste and add little water.
• Put the flame on high, mix well and add salt.
• Once it starts boiling add the fish, gently lay them.
• I like to spring some extra curry leaves for added flavor …
• Cover and cook on low or medium flame for about 10-15 min…in between do check whether the fish gets sticked to the pan…so it is advisable to swirl the pan or stir slowly with a spoon taking care not to break the fish.
• Enjoy fish curry with hot rice.
