Fish Curry In Nadan Style
Rich, fragrant, and full-bodied — this fish curry gets its depth from slow-cooked shallots and a careful balance of chilli heat and tang. Serve with appam, rice, or porotta.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 1/2 kg Fresh small/medium fish
- 1/2 Portion Coconut — grated
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 2 tsp Chilly powder
- 1 small Ginger
- 5 nos Garlic
- 4 nos Shallots (Kunjulli)
- Salt, to taste
- 4 piece Cocum Kudampuli
- 1 nos Big onion sliced into thin pieces
- 4 nos Green chillies — sliced
- Oil, to taste
- 1 Spring Curry leaves
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
Preparation
Step 1
Clean the fish and cut into pieces if required.
Step 2
Grind the ingredients: grated coconut, turmeric powder, chilly powder, ginger, garlic, shallots with little water to a smooth paste.
Step 3
Add this paste, salt, cocum pieces, big onion and green chillies to fish with sufficient water.
Step 4
Put pot onto the stove and slow the flame when it boils.
Step 5
Put another pan on stove and pour oil. Heat oil and allow to crackle the mustard seeds, fry curry leaves and pour seasoning into the fish curry. Tips: Instead of kudampuli, can use mango, chemmen puli, tomato & ambazhanga.
Tip
Taste the gravy before adding the main ingredient. It should be well-seasoned and balanced on its own — the protein or vegetable will dilute it slightly.
