| this is my hubby's trick, if you have some sunlight falling inside your kitchen,
just place the fish on it. Let it sit in the sunlight for 30 mins or so. |

I learnt cooking from your blog only..I live in Singapore n daily will check your blog before doing any dish..you are just awesome..

Thanks

Hi aarthi
If i leave the kashmiri chilli powder out, should I increase the chilli powder amount? I note your recipe calls for 2spoons of kashmiri powder which may alter the consistency of the masala paste. Planning to try for the weekend.
Thank you!
Aarthi
@Kalaiyarasi KU can skip kashmiri chilli. It is just for colour..add chilli powder as per ur taste.

Would you serve it with rice or naan? Any side dishes?
Aarthi
