Fish Pollichath - The Real Taste of Kerala

A Lip Smacking Delicacy of Central Kerala
The most suitable fish for this special preparation is Karimeen(Pearl spot) and unfortunately it is not available here in Saudi. The original ones are available only in the backwaters of Kerala. 
I prepared this in aluminium foil and i'm not satisfied with this, because when I was in India I had got a chance to prepare this in banana leaf with fresh karimeen and now i know the difference............between these two.........
