We can prepare fish curry in various methods. In Mid Travancore region, the fish curry is prepared with a special touch with kudampuli. My mom's pacha aracha meen curry is very special and authentic. Our guests appraised her a lot of times for her fish curry.
Pacha aracha meen curry of Onattukara is entirely different from that of Trivandrum. We add fenugreek powder and kudam puli for a special taste. Now I am presenting the recipe of our Pacha Aracha Meen Curry.
INGREDIENTS
Fish (cleaned and cut) - 1/2 kg
Coconut (grated) - 1 cup
Chilli powder - 1 teaspoon
Coriander Powder - 1 teaspoon
Fenugreek Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Shallots - 4-5
Kudam Puli - 2-3 pieces
Green Chilly - 6 (slit into two)
Curry Leaves - 2 springs
Coconut oil - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - to taste
METHOD
Clean and cut fish and keep it aside. Grind grated coconut, shallots, chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and fenugreek powder and mix it with some water. Put this coconut mix in a manchatty (clay pot). Add fish pieces to the coconut gravy. Add curry leaves, kudam puli, green chilly and salt to the curry and boil it. Then turn the flame into low mode and cook until the fish get ready. Then pour some coconut oil into the cooked fish curry and then turn off the flame. Nadan, Pacha aracha meen curry is ready. Serve it with hot rice.
