# 16 : Manglorean Fish Curry

Mangalore (Karnataka, India), is a coastal area. While its known for its natural beauty and serenity.. its is also well known for its FOOD. And manglorean food is known for the ingredients used. Most of it includes coconut, rice, curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and chilies. :) Its spicy..but its worth it!

Non-veg (especially fish) is cooked in earthen pots down south. And trust me, until i tasted the curries prepared in different vessels.. i did not quiet know what i was truly missing out on.. I would recommend cooking fish in an earthen pot always.. its simply delicious..and the aroma is ....."to die" for..

Okay..so here's how we prepare it..

Ingredients:
  1. Coconut - 1/2
  2. Onions - 2
  3. Red Chili powder - 2 tsp
  4. Ginger Garlic paste - 1 tsp
  5. Pepper pods - 4
  6. Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
  7. Tamarind water
  8. Green chili - 2 (spilt into halves)
  9. Vinegar- 1 tsp
  10. Fish
Procedure:

Grind the coconut, 1 onion, red chili powder, ginger garlic, pepper pods, turmeric powder together with the tamarind water.
Now, pour the above mixture into the earthen pot, and add green chilies & the finely sliced onions. Let the gravy cook together until the aroma starts to spread.. You know its cooked with the aroma! ;)

In case the gravy is too thick add a glass or 500 ml of water. Add the fish. It will just take 5 good minutes for the fish to cook.

Lastly, add vinegar!

Ta da!
