Red Fish Curry
A deeply satisfying red fish curry simmered slowly with freshly ground spices and coconut. The kind of gravy that thickens as it rests and rewards patience with layered, rounded flavour.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 1/2 kg Fish sear fish/shark/tuna
- 3 piece Coccum — soaked in some salt water, kudampuli
- 10 nos Shallots — sliced (Kunjulli)
- 3 nos Green chillies — slit
- 1 medium Ginger — chopped
- 8 Cloves Garlic — sliced
- 1 tsp Fenugreek seeds (Uluva)
- Curry leaves, a few

- 3 tbsp Chilly powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- Salt, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Soak the kudampuli in salted water for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Dry roast chilly powder, coriander, turmeric powder and set aside.
Step 3
Get a manchatti and heat some oil.
Step 4
Allow to crackle fenugreek seeds, add garlic cloves, ginger, shallots, green chillies and cook for some time. Add curry leaves also.
Step 5
When the raw smell goes, add tomato and kudampuli pieces.
Step 6
Next, add the roasted powders. Add little water and boil.
Step 7
When it comes to boil, add the fish pieces and cook in a low flame until done. If you want gravy, add more water while cooking.
Tip
Let the curry rest for at least 15 minutes after cooking — the flavours deepen as it sits. Reheated curry almost always tastes better than fresh.
