Fish Curry Kerala Style.
Fish Curry Indian
This fish curry is best made in earthen pot for the flavor but since it is not easy to find and cook in earthen pot in cities so I have used a heavy base pan. Of course if you can cook in earthen pot then the flavours of fish and spices come out superb. This dish comes from the Southern Indian state of Kerala. Even though I have used King fish, but you can use any kind of fish for this curry. Kashmiri red chili is used not for the chili but for the aroma and the colour it imparts to the curry.
Ingredients:
- King Fish ( Surmai) : 1 Kg.
- Tamarind: 3 Pieces
- Ginger Garlic paste: 2 Tsp.
- Kashmiri Red Chili Powder: 2 to 3 Tsp.
- Turmeric Powder: 1 ½ Tsp.
- Curry leaves.
- Green Chilies: 2
- Salt to taste.
- Oil: 2 Tbsp.
- Curry leaves: 15
- Water: 2 cups.
For tempering:
- Mustard seeds: 1 Tsp.
- Fenugreek Seeds: ¼ Tsp.
- Curry Leaves: 5
Method:
- Cut the fish in to 1 inch pieces ,
- Wash and drain the fish pieces and keep aside.
- Mix Kashmiri red chili powder in 3 Tbsp of water and keep aside.
- Slit the green chilies vertically.
- Soak tamarind pieces in 1 cup of water and keep aside.
- Set aside.
- Take a heavy base pan and put oil in it.
- Heat it on high.
- Add all ingredients for tempering.
- When mustard seeds splutter, add onions.
- Sauté for a couple of minutes.
- Add turmeric and ginger garlic paste.
- Sauté till the onions turn soft.
- Add salt and mix well.
- Now add Kashmiri chili powder which is mixed in water.
- Sauté till the oil separates.
- Add 2 cups of water and bring to boil.
- Now add fish pieces. Do not stir once you add fish or it would break.
- Now add the soaked tamarind pieces to the fish,
- Cover the pan and cook on low till the fish is cooked and gravy thickens.
- Remove cover, add slit chilies and then cover again.
- Remove from heat and keep aside.

Tip:
- King Fish is very delicate fish and breaks easily. So once you have put fish in the dish you do not stir the mixture.
