Malvani Fish Curry

Happy Wednesday.

Who don’t like to have sea food in the meal?  I am sea food lover. I like fry fish, especially if it is made by my Mother in Law. Saee is a great Fish eater (knock on the wood plzz). Many of my friends asking for fish curry recipe so today I am sharing my mother in law’s special recipe, an authentic Malvani Fish Curry. She is expert in cooking all malvani fish items. I am still learning from her and hope will make exactly like her.

Serving Size: 6 Adults

Ingredients required:

Fish : Anchovy fish 250 gm

Coconut:  1 cup

Onion: 1 big

Red Chilies: Fistful

Dhania (Coriander) Seeds: 1 tsp

Garlic cloves: 4 to 5

Ginger: ½ inch

Curry Leaves: 4 to 5

Haldi: ¼ tsp

Kokum Petals: 4 to 5

Oil: 2 tsp

Salt: as per taste

Have a step by step pictorial recipe.

We have Anchovy fish (Marathi name – Mandeli), you can take any fish you like. Clean it and washed with running tap water for 3 to 4 times.

Masala preparation:

Grate the fresh coconut, cut the onion into small piece, peal the garlic and cut the ginger in small piece. Sankeshwari Red Chilies are used for malvani fish curries which are not spicy but gives a nice thick red color. Soak these red chillies in water for 5 minutes, remove the stem and cut in to two pieces.

Grind it by using a small amount of water, grind into smooth paste, like this

 

Heat oil in deep kadhai, put some onions in it and fry till it turns in pink color. Add curry leaves let them crackled

Add grounded paste and stir it for 10 seconds and let the mixture boiled.

Add salt as per taste. 

After that add washed fish. Stir it slowly so that fish get completely mixed with the masala.

Let the mixture boil for ten minutes. Lastly add kokum petals and stir the mixture again n boil for more five minutes.

Fish does not take a lot of time to cook. So take care that it should not overcook too. 

Serve it with plain steam rice or tandalchi bhakari .

Yum yum…….. We have it once in a week with different kind of fishes.
