Kerala Fish Curry With some Secret tips! ;)

Ingredients

6- 7 slices of cleaned fish( I used  Tilapia, You can use any fish of your choice like King Fish or Salmon)
8 Small Onions, sliced
4 chillies
1 small piece Ginger,sliced
3 Tblsp Coconut oil
1 cup thin coconut Milk ( Munnam Paal)
3/4 Thin Coconut Milk ( Randam Paal)
1/4 Thick Coconut Milk ( Onnam Paal)
2 tsp chilly powder
3/4 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp pepper powder
1 Sprig Curry Leaves
2-3 pieces of Kodam Pulli , Soaked in little hot water(Gamboge)
Sea Salt, according to your taste


Directions

1. Clean the fish well with  little turmeric to avoid fish smell.


2. Crush Ginger, chillies and onions together seperately.


3.  Add chilly powder, coriander powder and pepper powder to 1 cup coconut milk seperately.Mix well.


4.Take a earthenware ( Curry chatti), add coconut oil, sea salt and crushed ginger, chillies and onions. Crush them with your hands for 30 seconds. Add Kudam-pulli water along with the 2 small Kodam Pulli pieces. Then add the 1 cup coconut milk (with the spice mix) and then the 3/4 cup coconut milk. Mix everything well.

5. Switch on the stove ( Only now....Secret#1) at medium heat and let the above mix come to a boil. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Add the fish and let it cook for another 10 minutes or until you see a thin layer of oil on the sides. ( While it is boiling, check the level of sourness and adjust by adding or removing the pieces of Kudam- Puli). DO NOT COVER with  a lid (Secret #2;)...).


6.  Reduce the heat to low flame.Add the 3rd coconut milk in circular motion. Let it cook for 3 - 5 minutes. Just 1 minute before switching off the stove,add the curry leaves on top.


7. Do not cover the chatti with a lid until the curry cools down ( Secret#3 ;)...).
