I had posted a 30-minute Kerala meal for Shaheen's Express Cooking Event a few months back. Its was the most popular post till my Low-Fat Sugar Cookies took over. So here is a sequal, a simple lunch at home with Kerala Fish Curry, Cabbage Thoran and Rice.
Kerala Fish Curry
Kanambu Fish/Mullet or any other medium sized fish - 1/2 kg
Coconut - 2 cups
Chilly powder - 1 tbsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
Garlic - 4 cloves
Shallots - 4
Tamarind paste - 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 strand
Mustard and fenugreek - for tempering
Gingelly oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
How I Made It:
1. Grind coconut, pepper, garlic, shallots, turmeric and jeera to a paste with some added water.
2. Heat oil and crackle mustard seeds. Fry fenugreek for a while and add a couple of chopped shallots. Then add curry leaves.
3. Add the gound paste, tamarind salt. Half a cup water may be added at this stage if gravy is too thick. Boil for 2 mins.
4. Add the cleaned and cut fish pieces, close and cook for 10 mins.
5. Serve hot with rice and any thoran.
Note: Replacing tamarind paste with one or two kodam puli (cocum) would change the flavour of the curry. But we use kodam puli only in curries that use no coconut.
