Thanks for the … Thanks for the instructional video. I first tried this dish at a Kerala restaurant in Bangalore, and consider it to be one of my favorite Indian dishes. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and there are no such restaurants here. The recipe seems straightforward and all of the ingredients can be purchased locally, so I’ll definitely be trying my luck at home!
this is the worst … this is the worst cooking show ever….it takes time to make fish curry….NOT JUST 10 MINS….i bet its raw like sushi….it dosent even look right.its not supossed to be white after it is cooked..its suppossed to red..at least the outside is…HORRIBLE
Sorry young lady. I … Sorry young lady. I think your curry is sub standard. Didn’t mean to be rude….your method is unacceptable to a kerala christian…who makes the best fish curry ever. Please people (binu 129) don’t be rude by saying we like to see you nude and all that crap. Be civil and have some respect. Sorry, you have no respect for women. Do you want to see your mum nude!!Well! good breeding comes from home. Anyways thanks for your time young lady in making this clip.
2. Soak tamarind in … 2. Soak tamarind in warm water for 15 minutes. If its available in a local Indian store, use the dried tamarind rind curls which look almost black, not the tamarind paste (different plants). A few (3 or 4) curls are enough, and soak them in about a cup of warm water.
3. Blend a few teaspoons of chilli powder, half a teaspoon of turmeric, a little ginger, garlic and maybe a quarter onion and a few curry leaves. Set this paste aside.
Hey, this recipe is … Hey, this recipe is way off track. My mom and aunts and grandmothers all cook this amazing curry, and NONE of them cook it this way. They would flip if you told them to add coconut milk in this curry!
Heres a simple and easy way to cook this is:
1. Fish pieces - you can use any fish. Fresh is better. King fish, Pomfret, Sardines, Mackerel, Salmon etc.(yes salmon! I know Keralite purists are aghast but salmon tastes good in this curry!)

3. Blend a few teaspoons of chilli powder, half a teaspoon of turmeric, a little ginger, garlic and maybe a quarter onion and a few curry leaves. Set this paste aside.
4. Pop mustard … 4. Pop mustard seeds in a little oil (coconut oil gives a nice flavor but its optional), saute these in this order: 1 tablespoon each of ginger and garlic, a sprig of curry leaves and one onion; set that aside also.
5. Heat a bit more oil in that same pot, put in the blended paste, cook it for a bit till the oil separates and comes to the top. Add the tamarind water with the curled tamarind rinds. Stir and cook for a minute, then add fish pieces gently.
Simmer for 20 … Simmer for 20 minutes or till fish pieces are cooked. Stir very gently while cooking so the fish pieces dont break.
6. Add the sautéed onion/ginger/garlic and stir gently, cook for a few more minutes.
Theres your Kerala fish curry enjoy!!
P.S. Dont add coconut milk thats a different curry altogether. Also, some folks add a chopped tomato and some add a teaspoon of coriander powder but most purists dont. You can try with each/both and see how you like it.
P.P.S.
Green … P.P.S.
Green chillies are also optional. People in my family don’t add them in this curry but if you’re making a coconut milk flavored curry, they go really well. The spice base in this curry is the red chilli powder, so you don’t need the green chillies in addition to it.
That’s what I know, but please improvise as you like (within reason of course, lol!)
