    Fish Masala Powder

    This recipe comes from my bestie jafrin moms, i have written about her many times in my blog. I have posted many of her recipes in my blog. Couple months back we were having a chat together, at that time she told me about a fish recipe, i really liked it and wanted to try.

    Last week hubby got fish and i decided to give her recipe a shot, i ringed her up and asked that recipe once again. The main ingredient in that is a special fish masala powder and she told me that her mom makes that at home. I asked her that recipe as well, and immediately she asked her mom the recipe and conveyed it to me..

      What about fennel and fenugreek seeds? Could I add cardamom and cinnamon to it or is tat not part of a proper tamil fish curry?!

        Fennel, Cardamom & Cinnamon are too strong flavours for fish, best avoided

      Is it used for a coconut based curry?
      How does this make the curry tangy. Should you add tamarind or lemon will do?
