Tips & Secrets

  • The secret to a great fish curry is the clay pot; it provides a earthy undertone and keeps the fish moist.
  • Always add the fish only after the tamarind gravy is well-boiled and reduced for a sauce.
  • Letting the curry rest for an hour before serving allows the fish to absorb the spicy and tangy juices.
