Instructions
- Heat about a quarter of a cup of coconut oil or vegetable oil in a frying pan until the oil is hot enough to break a few mustard seeds.
- Now add the chopped onions, few curry leaves and slit green chilies and fry.
- To this, add a mixture of turmeric, chilli powder and paprika powder in half a cup of water.
- Add salt as necessary.
- Cook until the gravy is thick and keep this aside.
- Next, take a large frying pan. Prepare a bed of curry leaves.
- Arrange the pieces of fish on this bed. Pour the previously prepared gravy over this. The pieces of fish should be completely covered.
- Add the remaining curry leaves and `PULI `pieces. Cover with a lid and cook slowly.
- :- Do not stir, if necessary you can lift the frying pan by its` handle and give it a gentle rotating or rocking motion during cooking to spread the gravy evenly.
- Stop cooking when the fish pieces are cooked sufficiently and the gravy is thick.
- :- This preparation is best after it sits for a day or two to allow time for the spices to get in to the fish. In the old days they used `CHATTIES` made of "MANNU" to keep the fish curry in .The curry got better as it stayed in the chatty for some reason.
