Nei Meen Thokku Recipe - King Fish Masala Recipe with step wise pictures.

Super delicious nei meen (king fish) masala or thokku recipe. This taste so delicious when mixed with hot rice. So good.

I made it just few days back and it was delicious. I mixed it with some hot rice and it tasted divine. The main flavour for this is from gingelly oil and shallotsso try to use it. Also use kashmiri chilli powder which gives nice colour to this.
