Kerala is known for its flavorful dishes , be it vegetarian or nonvegetarian. Almost all the dishes are cooked in coconut milk and a melange of authentic south indian spices. This dish is easy to make and completely outstanding. Mouth watering fish curry is prepared using sardine ( mathi ) but i have made it with Rohu fish which tastes equally good. Fatty fishes make the curry so yummy. Generally fishes are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and good for overall health . To make fish curry make sure that there is a perfect balance of salt and spices . This curry is best enjoyed with rice . I love it with brown matta rice. However , you can also pair it with dosa or idli! Fish curry tastes even better the next day. So don’t wait anymore. Try this delicious fish curry and enjoy it with your family.
