Posted on by

Already I have shared a red snapper fish curry without coconut and now this time it’s going to be with freshly grounded coconut. This curry tastes completely different than the one with coconut, also I have prepared it in earthen ware, because when it’s fish curry it would be prepared in earthen ware most commonly, as it tastes delicious. Also, commonly there is a term called “Meenkulambum MaanPanaiyum” means fish curry and earthen ware. Let me share the recipe, I forgot take step by step pictures and so kindly check out our video…

I have already shared few fish curries based on the region and this time it’s salem. I came across this recipe through one of my friend, I tried out and it was yummy, tangy, little spicy and flavorful with spices. Usually this curry should be tried out with the big fishes like pomfret, seer fish and barracuda (fish with middle bone). I would say that this is a must try recipe and now let us move on to the recipe…

Do check out my other fish recipes (curry, gravy and fry) in this link: https://madraasi.com/main-course/non-vegetarian/seafood/
