CHENNAI FISH CURRY/MADRAS FISH KULAMBU


CHENNAI FISH CURRY/MADRAS FISH KULAMBU


The fish dish uses madras curry flavours of tamarind and green chillies. ... I always think  fish goes well with curry anyway, particularly with the flavours of tomatoes, tamarind and curry leaves.

This week it was chennai fish curry and it turned out to be delicious. The curry is tangy and spicy and very flavourful.

The special thing about this curry is, it has no coconut. the spice powder added in this will make this curry thick and gravy like

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

AMRITSARI CHOLE MASALA/AMRITSARI CHANNA MASALA Amritsari Chole  are traditional Amritsar style spicy  Chole  Recipe made using freshly ground  chole  masala. The curry has a slightly darker hue due to tea bags that are used while boiling the  chole . This taste so delicious with battura or roti. I made some black tea, strained it and used that in this recipe. If you have those tea bags, throw few when cooking chana in the pressure cooker. The more tea bags you add the more black your chana will be. But don't use too much, else your chana will be bitter. Hope you will give this try and let me know how it turns out for you.
