Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. 1/2 kg fish of your choice
  2. 15 shallots
  3. 1 medium sized ripe tomato
  4. 4 tsp gingelly oil
  5. 3 tsp chilli powder
  6. 2 tsp coriander powder
  7. 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  8. Salt to taste
  9. Tamarind paste 3-4 tsp (dilute it in 1/4 cup by adding water)
  10. Tempering Ingredients:
  11. 1 tsp mustard seeds
  12. 1 tsp cumin seeds
  13. 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
  14. 1 sprig of curry leaves

Instructions

  1. Clean the fish and marinate it with salt and turmeric powder.
  2. In a wok, add oil to heat, then add the ingredients for tempering, followed by the shallots. Cook until they are transparent and mushy.
  3. Next, add the tomato, salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder and coriander powder. Cover it and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Once you see the oil seep from the sides of gravy, add in the diluted tamarind paste. Allow it to boil until the oil separates itself and starts to float on top of the gravy.
  5. Now add the fish pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes undisturbed.
  6. Your hot piping Meen Kozhambu is ready to be enjoyed with steamed rice.
