This is a spicy with awesome flavoured best curry that I have ever made. I have mentioned in my early post that I love chettinad cuisine and been a big fan on their recipes. Chettinad Fish Curry can be prepared in many ways. It looks simple but is really hard to get right perfect taste. This fish curry has tamarind tangy sweetness flavours that gives a good taste with the spicy. Ofcourse tomatoes not going to be a subtitute to it. This curry does not required a generous amount of coconut milk but I have added a very small amount of grated coconut into it. Therefore,it doesn't taste creamy or tropical since a very little presence of grated coconut. Adding coconut milk is certainly matter of personal tastebuds .
This time, I really want to get this fish curry with bright red instead of yellowish. Smell was awesome when the curry being cooked with entirely in tangy tamarind water and chilies....
Here goes my recipe...
