Kerala is famous for its different types of fish curry, especially the red colored one. So I will try to put it in a most easy way. But remember to serve it with love and it will be more tasty.
Ingredients:-
1) Fish (anything from King fish to Mackerel) - 1 kg
2) Coconut oil - 3 tbsp
3) Small/ Sambhar Onion - 5 to 6 no:s
4) Ginger Garlic paste - 2 tsp full
5) Green Chillies - 5 to 6 no:s
6) Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
7) Fenugreek seeds (Dried) - 2 pinches
8) Curry leaves - 1 tbsp full
9) Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
10 Coriander powder - 1 tsp full
11) Red Chilly powder - 3 tsp full
12) Kudam Puli/ Malabar Tamarind - 3 to 4 no:s
13) Water - 4 cups
14) Salt - to taste
Method:-
Heat the coconut oil in an earthen dish(manchatti) and add ingredients 6,7 and 8. When they start popping add a paste made of ingredients 3,4 and 5 saute them thoroughly. Once they turn into golden color, add ingredients 9, 10 and 11. Mix well and add the water and the malabar tamarind pieces along with salt to taste. Wait till it boils and then add the fish. Simmer with the dish open and the fish curry can be served once a top layer of oil starts forming.
