Tips & Secrets

  • Using Byadagi chilies is the secret to achieving that vibrant red color without excessive heat.
  • Ensuring the masala paste is ground extremely smooth is crucial for a texture.
  • The touch of fenugreek (methi) seeds provides the characteristic Mangalorean aroma to the curry.
  • Do not stir the curry vigorously after adding the fish; use a gentle swirling motion instead.
