  More Cooking Tips:

  • Always add the fish after the curry starts boiling, not before.

  • Cook the fish on low heat to keep it soft and juicy.

  • Shake the pan gently instead of stirring to avoid breaking the fish.

  Flavor Tips:

  • Add 1–2 slit green chilies for extra aroma.

  • A little coconut milk can make the curry richer.

  • Use kokum instead of tamarind for a traditional tangy taste.

  Serving Tips:

  • Best served with hot steamed rice.

  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if you like.
