This is probably the easiest fish curry I have ever made. Thanks to Canned Sardines! I can quickly whip up a Fish Curry for Rice. The first time I saw Canned Sardines in Tomato Sauce, I almost made up my mind that it would taste gross and fishy. However, hubby was inspired by a blog [...]

Whenever I make a good dish, it is truly a test on my patience. The very smell and taste of the dish while it gets prepared lures me and I am eager to get to the meal. I convince myself that I can snap photos later for the recipe. I call my hubby and we [...]

Freshwater Pearlspot (Karimeen) is a big delicacy in Kerala. Karimeen is traditionally prepared in a few popular ways in Kerala like Karimeen Mappas, Karimeen Polichathu, Karimeen Paalu Curry and so on. Hubby’s mom prepares the best Karimeen Polichathu I have ever eaten. She always uses Fresh Karimeen caught from the backwaters of Vembanad and that [...]

While discussing with my friend Milsa, I happened to learn that Fish is often cooked in a roasted coconut gravy in the southern regions of Kerala. This Fish Curry is known as Varutharacha Meen Curry. Grated Coconut and spices are fried and then ground to a paste. Fish is cooked in this paste along with [...]

I am sure the combination of Yogurt and Fish may sound odd to many Keralites. The two are rarely paired together in Kerala. Whereas, Bengalis have a Yogurt Fish curry known as Doi Maach. After hearing about Doi Maach, I tried to make a Fish Curry in a Yogurt Tomato base. It was a welcome [...]

Well here I am with another lovely Indo-Chinese recipe – Chilly Fish. After Chilly Chicken and Chilly Prawns, it’s time for some fish. This is my version of Chilly Fish and it may be different from what you get at Chinese restaurants here in US. I had some fresh Tilapia fillets and was tempted to [...]

I often make Fish Curry with big fish fillets like King Fish, Tilapia and so on. My friend Lisha shared a recipe for making a nice spicy curry using Anchovies (Kozhuva/Netholi). Whenever my Mom makes fish curry, she uses only Fish Tamarind or Kudam Puli, which I guess is the way of making Fish Curry [...]

Chilly Fish Masala is a very spicy dish made using red chillies. The Fish Masala is very thick and unlike the usual Kerala Fish Curry, this dish doesn’t have lot of gravy. The gravy has a nice spicy and tangy taste. If you love spicy food, then you will like this dish. You can serve [...]

This is one of the easiest Kerala Fish Curries I make since it doesn’t involve any roasting or grinding or shredding coconuts. I had some frozen Seer Fish (Ney Meen) and decided to make a quick curry. The frozen ones of course lack the flavor of the fresh Ney Meen which used to be a [...]

Fish Molee is a unique Kerala Fish Recipe which has coconut milk as the main ingredient. Unlike the traditional Kerala Style Fish curries, this recipe doesn’t use Tamarind and is not spicy. It is an excellent side dish for Appam, Bread or Roti. I had Fish Molee for the first time when I was a [...]

Fish is an integral part of Kerala Cuisine. There are hundreds of variations for Kerala Fish curry. Some use Kudam Puli (Gambooge/Malabar Tamarind/Fish Tamarind), while others use tamarind or tomatoes. Some prefer it with Coconut Milk. Others roast and grind Coconut and so on. Here is the recipe for Fish Curry With Kudam Puli which [...]

This is one of my favorite recipes and is really easy to make. Whenever, I need to make a quick side dish for rice or chapattis, I use canned tuna which is readily available in the market and the entire recipe just takes 15 minutes. This Canned Tuna Curry Recipe can also be used with [...]
