Method

 

Clean and wash fish with salt and lemon …

Here I used Pomfret (Avoli )to make this mulakittahu ..U can use any kind of fish ..

Soak tamarind in 1 cup of hot water and keep aside for few minutes ..Then squeeze and strain ..

Heat oil  in a kadai or manchatti (Clay pot) and splutter mustard seeds followed by fenugreek seeds ..

Then to this add onion slices and green chilli ,sauté for 2 minute or until they are soft ..

At this point add crushed ginger -garlic and curry leaves and sauté until the raw smell goes ..

Now add chilli powder,turmeric powder and coriander powder one by one in a low heat and sauté for a minute ..

Then add tomato pieces and cook until  soft ..

Now its time for adding tamarind water and salt  and cook for 5 minutes in low flame and add rest of the water (hot) to this and mix well.. Cook for another 5 minutes ..

Then add fish pieces and close the kadai and cook for 10 minutes in medium flame  .

Then open the lid and allow to cook till the gravy becomes semi medium thick … Check the salt ..

Finally sprinkle 1 tsp of coconut oil and curry leaves and close the kadai .. Its best to make fish curry one day b4 serving .. 🙂

So hope all of u like this meen mulakittathu and will try ..
