Wash and drain well the Choora fish pieces.
Take an earthen pot and heat it on the "aduppu". If you do have aduppu, you can cook on the gas stove. First, add 3 tablespoon of coconut oil and splutter mustard seeds.
Add ginger-garlic paste and stir in low flame.
Next, add kashmiri chilly powder, ordinary chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder. Saute in low flame till the raw smell leaves completely.
Now add 2 glasses of boiling water, required salt, kudampuli pieces and the cleaned Choora fish pieces. Stir in fenugreek seed powder ad few curry leaves too.
Close the pan with a lid and cook the fish in medium flame.
When the gravy has thickened and the fish pieces are done, add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and swirl the pan around. Add few curry leaves and keep the pan closed for 5 minutes.
Hot & spicy Kudampuli Meen Curry, every Malayalee's favorite, is ready.
