South Indian Fish Curry

Well, in my usual chat with wife in the evening, she has given another idea about the blog topic, she want to contribute her talents, yes; the cooking stuff. She need to post cooking tips in bolg, good na;) she is watching the cooking stuff almost in all channels and spending at least 10 hours per day. No way I can change the channel when Anjum anand or Nigella showing their tips in Travel& living channel or her favorite ‘Pachakaraani’ (Cooking queen) or ‘taste of Kerala’ are running on her channels.

Of course, she is good in cooking, especially south Indian dishes. She uses to prepare fish curry in different ways (Kerala style, Tamil style etc). So I thought of sharing one of her (mine too) favorite dishes. I am guaranteeing that you will enjoy this dish.
