Tips & Secrets

  • Coconut oil is non-negotiable for the authentic, traditional aroma of Kerala fish stew.
  • The secret is not to brown the onions; they must remain translucent to keep the stew white.
  • Using fresh coconut milk extracted at home provides a much superior creamy texture.
  • Do not boil the stew after adding the thick coconut milk to prevent it from curdling.
