This curry is best made with small fishes. i am not sure if it will taste the same with large fishes. Warning: Do not add or reduce any ingredient if u want to get the right taste. Things Needed: For Curry: Fish - 4 to 5 (Washed, cleaned and cut into small pieces, I have used sankara meen(red snapper), you can replace it with chalai / mathi (sardine) / nethili (anchovy) or any small fish of your choice). Tamarind pulp - made from a gooseberry sized ball, about 1/4th cup Water - 1/2 cup. Sea Salt or Rock salt - as required Fish masala to grind: Grated coconut - 1/2 cup Dried red chilies - 4-5 (large ones) Coriander powder - 1 tablespoon Turmeric powder - 1/4 tablespoon Shallo...
