This curry can be made with seer ,tuna and salmon fish or whatever type suitable

to grill or fry.

I made the curry by only grilling the fish .It was pretty rich and awesome ,with

the inclusion of moringa leaves.Good with  rice,stringhoppers,hoppers,….or

any bread of your choice.

Let me share this recipe with you now.

Mix the masalas and salt together and marinade for some time.Grill the fish in coconut

This is a very rich gravy,good to serve with rotis,pulaos,stringhoppers,hoppers.If cooked

in ghee it gives an excellent flavour.You have to half fry the fish and drop into the

curry,and  this curry has to be cooked on a low flame,to extract the exotic flavor.

For the recipe now.

the green chillies and saute till it changes color.Add the chopped tomatoes,ginger-garlic
