I have quite a few fish recipes on my blog and this one is a addition to that. Hubby got a huge kilos of fish yesterday. He got it directly from the fisherman, so it was very very cheap.. It was so fresh, I freezed few of them and cooked some immediately for dinner, This is what i made yesterday for lunch and i am sure we are gonna eat fish for the following days as well.

Nice recipe.. adding curry leaves to grind with coconut is something new I learnt in this. I have a doubt. When you use a Mann chatti for cooking was it a brand new one or something you have been using a while. I have heard that food takes longer to cook on a new mud pot and it won't be as tasty. Would like to start using it for cooking. Plus are there any benefits in cooking in a mud pot compared to our normal cookware?
