    Kumarakom Fish Curry Recipe - Kumarakom Meen Curry Recipe with step wise pictures.

    Super spicy and tangy fish curry which is one of my favorite. I was inspired this from our kovalam trip and this turned out to be perfect.

    Super spicy curry made with fish taste really good with rice. This is a kumarakom speciality and it don't need any coconut.

    I have shared so many variation of fish curry in this blog, this is another one. It is made using paarai meen and the recipe is very simple. The flavour and taste for this comes from coconut oil and the small onions which we are using.

      Hi, it looks delicious but when is the Kodumpuli added or is it the tamarind you refer to?
