Fish Curry Recipe

This curry is an Indian dish that was originally found in the state of Kerala. It consists of sardines semi-stewed with tomatoes, coconut milk or water and vegetables such as okra to make it more flavorful for your mouth! You can also find versions without any meat at all like a vegetarian version where we just add some boiled potatoes instead. The typical rice accompanies this delicious meal but you could enjoy it alongside other staple foods too if preferred - by adding them on top using plenty beans/lentils sauce pot after cooking up everything else together well done first.
