Something which I really enjoying cooking is seafood. I hail from South India and typically from the coastal side, though I was not brought up there. But yet I grew up eating a ton of seafood and coconut.
The South Indian style of cooking can be further broken into multiple styles. But predominantly it is different from North Indian style of cooking. We use a lot of spices like mustard seeds, broken urad dal, jeera, tamarind, Fenugreek and multiple varieties of dry red chillies. What I love the most is my beloved curry leaves!
Fish curry can be made in a million ways. At my house, we use multiple recipes depending on the type of fish. Some might find it shocking that we don’t de-bone the fish before cooking it, but actually that adds to the flavour. Also if you are from the coast, we are taught from a very young age, how to separate the meat from the bone while eating the fish.
Fish curry brings back memories of my Granny. She was an amazing cooking and every time I visited my native, she used to make a ton of fish just for me. I love eating dosa with fish curry ❣️ Food and memories go together ❤️
Note : Kindly use boneless fish steaks if you aren’t familiar with eating fish this way!!
I hope the video helps in simplifying the recipe.
