Notes

  • Fish: Use any type of good quality Fish to make this curry. While making the video I used Spanish Mackerel.
    If you don’t have Shallots at home, use a small portion of Onion.
    Always add more Garlic and Ginger, will give a great flavor to Curry.
    Paprika / Kashmiri Chilli will give a nice red color to Fish curry without burning your tounge.
    Kerala Style Meen Pattichathu / Vattichathu is a great Curry to be served on next day. It’s always better to keep it a side and serve after 1day of resting, this wil enhance the flavor and Fish will taste even better.

Enjoy!!!!!!
