And time did I get over the weekend. Since I was getting ready to prepare fish curry, I remembered seeing this recent post of Nandan Meen curry on Rinku’s blog. The content and the outcome were so very close to what we make at home. I did little tweaks here and there. For original recipe visit Rinku and her wonderful blog. I have almost started to think konkan and kerala dishes are very similar. So here I present to you my second blog hopping for the day, Malabar fish curry.
Serves: 4 | Prep. Time: 10 min. | Cooking Time: 15 min.
Ingredients:
- For masala -
- Coconut – Grated 2 cups
- Chili powder - 1 tbsp.
- Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp.
- Cumin/ Jeera powder - 1/2 tsp.
- Tamarind extract - 1/2 tsp.
- Coriander powder - 1 tsp
- Tilapia fish fillets – 4
- Green Chili - 3 slit
- Ginger - 1 tbsp. (minced)
- Onion - small (minced fine)
- Curry / Kadipatta leaves - 1 spring
- Garam masala powder - 1tsp.
- Water as required
- Salt to taste
- Oil - 1 tbsp.
Clockwise from top - Garam masala, coconut paste, salt, oil, curry leaves, ginger, chili (from my Garden!), onion |
Method of Preparation:
~ Grind everything listed under masala to a fine paste. (Coconut and tamarind with turmeric, chili powder, cumin and coriander powder).
~ Heat oil in a pan, add curry leaves.
~ After few seconds add, green chilies, onion and ginger. Fry till onions turn translucent.~ Add coconut paste and add required amount of water and salt. Bring it to boil.
~ Now add fish fillets gently in and cook until it boils again; in about 4 to 5 minutes. Check to make sure all the fillets are done (They would turn white)
~ Serve this yummy dish hot with some rice.
You know what, this is really very sweet of you Sumi.
