    I make fish curry differently each time, i like to experiment with it. Most of the time i make fish curry with coconut, since hubby loves his fish curry with coconut in it.

    How to Make Vanjaram meen kulambu

    Soak tamarind in water and squeeze to remove the pulp. Strain and set aside.

    Roast ingredients given for roasting, grind it to a fine paste. Set aside.
