Version 2: Meen Kulambu
Are you looking for a proper fish curry, then this is it. This recipe is given from my mother. she is a pure vegetarian, but she knows to cook fish. She told me to try this fish curry and i did it too. It came out so good .I hope you will try it soon.. Once i got married to a total fish addict. I started learning fish recipes slowly. Once of the basic recipe is fish curry, I make it in my style, but my hubby was not very keen into that curry. So he thought me how to make the perfect fish curry in the world. And i should admit the truth that it was yum, i started eating fish lovingly from that day onwards.
How to Make Meen kulambu
Take all the grinding ingredients in a blender and add water. Grind into a smooth paste. Now take drumstick, brinjal, tomato in a kadai and add some water. Add in salt, turmeric and tamarind and mix well. Cover and cook this for 10 mins. Add in the ground masala and mix well. Add water if needed. Once it reaches to a boil. Set the flame to simmer and let it cook for 5 to 8 mins. Now add in the sardine pieces and simmer for 10 more mins. Throw in a handful of curry leaves and mix well. Let it simmer for 2 more mins. Now switch off the flame and let it sit covered till ready to eat. Serve with hot rice.
He would say that a fish curry should not be bland, it should be spicy, tangy, salty, aromatic, flavourful all at the same point. Also adding these veggies makes it more flavourful. So now i make this often for my hubby and i would wait for him to take his first mouthful, to hear his wordings. During my first attempts he would say “not bad”, now he says " yum". Yay i won.. So i am sharing you my hubby perfect fish curry recipe.
Pro Tips for Meen Kulambu
If you have sour raw mango add it into the curry and skip the tamarind part. This curry gets more flavour and taste the next day when it is reheated. Adjust the spice, tart and salt level as per your taste. You could use any fish of your choice.
