Meen Thengapal Curry - Fish Curry in Coconut milk

It is a mild, flavourful and delicious fish curry from the cuisine of middle Kerala .Coconut and coconut milk impart a great role in the Kerala cuisine.And in my recipe collection here, most of the curries are made with coconut milk especially seafood varieties. This lip smacking curry is a must try for all l seafood lovers and its a heavenly accompaniment and tastes wonderful with appam, idiyappam ,chapati , bread and rice too.....

  11. Thick Coconut Milk : 3/4 cup
  12. Fenugreek Seeds : 1/2 tsp
  13. Salt
  14. Kudampuli : 2 small piece
  15. Coconut Oil

Method :
  • Crush the pearl onions,ginger and green chillies together.
  • Heat oil in a claypot and splutter fenugreek seeds.
  • Saute the chopped onion,garlic pods and curry leaves together till the onions get soft.
  • Add the crushed mix and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Now add all the powders and saute for 2-3 minutes in medium flame.
  • When the raw smell goes,add 1/2 cup of water and let it boil.
  • While boiling, add salt,kudampuli and fish pieces.
