Vanjaram Meen Kuzhambu, today we will see how to prepare vanjaram fish curry using freshly ground masala. I have already shared many versions of fish curry recipes.
You can either add raw fish or fried fish in the curry. I always like to add fried fish in my curry. Raw mango in the recipe can be substituted with tamarind water. The curry goes very well with rice, roti, dosa or idli. This is creamy and full of flavour.
We are roasting onion, coconut bits and curry leaves. Grind it together with curry powder / coriander powder, pepper powder and ginger garlic paste to nice creamy paste. The flavour of the whole dish comes form this masala paste.
Some of the recipes shared in my blog, Salem Style Fish Curry, White Fish Curry, Viral Meen Kuzhambu, Fish Kofta Curry & Fish & Cabbage curry. If you try any of my recipes, do share your feedback with us.
