Ingredients:






  • Fish                               3-5 piece
  • Drumstick                    1
  • Raw mango(small)       1
  • Coconut                        1 cup
  • Turmeric powder        1/2 tsp
  • Chilly powder              1/2 tsp
  • Whole Black pepper   1/4 tsp
  • Cumin seeds                 1/4 tsp
  • Shallots                         2 or 3
  • Garlic pods                   1 or 2
  • Green chillies               2 no
  • Curry leaves                 2 stem







Procedure:


Cut the drumstick in small pieces and cook in two cups of water.


While the drumsticks are boiling, wash and cut the raw mango into pieces. Then, blend together coconut, turmeric powder, chilly powder, black pepper, cumin seeds, garlic, shallots together with just enough water to form a smooth paste. Take out two green chillies and curry leaves ready.  Also, wash the fish thoroughly and cut in desired size.


Once the drumsticks are cooked, add the cut raw mango and the blended coconut paste into this and wait for the first boil.


Once it starts to boil add two green chillies slit lengthwise and  1 stem of curry leaves and allow to boil not more than 2 minutes.
Then add the fish pieces and salt and reduce the flame to low. If you feel the curry too thick, this is the right time to add water and get the curry to ur desired consistency.


Let the fish pieces cook in low flame with the blended coconut mixture for 15-20 minutes covered.
Switch off the flame and add one more stem of curry leaves for garnishing.


The kerela style fish curry is ready to serve with hot steamed rice and this tastes awesome with Fish fry as side dish.
