ABOUT Mackerel Fish curry RECIPE

This simple, easy yet delicious recipe comes right from my grandma’s recipe book with my little twist. This fish curry is one of my favorite curry. I have grown eating this curry. This traditional curry can be made with any fish especially ladyfish, King fish , sardines, squid, prawns etc.. This recipe goes well with hot steam rice, boil rice, idlies, dosa and the tamarind in the gravy gives a lovely tangy flavor.
