The special thing about this curry is, it has no coconut. The tamarind used in this is less too. The flavour comes from the onions and tomatoes used in this. The onion tomato masala and the spice powder added in this will make this curry thick and gravy like.

Hi I have a black colour clay pot put his to get rid of the smell of mud….from the pot because it comes in the dish I make inside it

Hi, I like to know whether I cook with any type of fish following with this recipe.
please dip clay pot in vinegar and water and wash it..all smell will be gone.
@Rashmi Devyes u can use any fish
im not getting the curry thick, its watery , if i add less water there is no curry at all .. please tell how to make the curry thick
@mani.blogjust adjust the water little by little. increase the onion tomato mix ratio for more saucy curry
Tried the curry it was amazing, Marinated fish in the curry was yummy. I tried with Emperor Fish. Thanks a lot.
I made this for dinner last night. Not only was it easy to do but I loved the end result too. I cooked mine with tuna fish as in the UK, we don’t get the variety fish that is available in Asia. Your recipe instructions and ensuing pictures are helpful. Thank you.
