Croaker Fish Curry

 

This dish is simple, flavourful, delicious and easy to prepare!

What you need:

• 6 pieces of croaker fish (medium sized)

• 1 cup coconut 

• 4 long red chillies 

• 1/2 tsp coriander seeds

• 2 seeds of garlic (peeled)

• 4 pepper corns

• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

• 1 onion (small sized)

• 1 tsp tamarind

For tempering:

• 1 onion (small sized)

• 2 tsp coconut oil

Method:

• Clean and wash the fish. Apply 1/2 tsp salt and keep it aside.

• Grind the masala to form a fine paste.

• Take a heavy bottomed pan. Add oil and the sliced onions and fry until it turns golden brown. Add the ground masala and fry on low flame for 5 minutes. Add water and stir to form a gravy-like consistency. 

• Add salt. Do not add more salt as you have already added salt to the fish. Close the lid and bring the gravy to a boil. Add the fish. Check the salt. Add more salt if required. 

• Boil for 2-3 minutes and switch off the flame. Serve hot with boiled rice.
