Malli Meen Kuzhambu:
Dhaniya Machi ki Salan. Country style Chappalu Pulusu. Kothamalli Meen Kuzhambu.
When I was in Hostel,(I was always in hostel…thats a different story’)…the Chennai one! My wall mate (next room neighbour & yeah I coined the name ‘wall mate’, he he) Rubanya from Theni(Tamil Nadu)taught me this dish. I tried this curry invariably to all the meat preparations, it came out well! So, here is the one again with fish and nothing is fishy about it…damn simple:)
Ingredients:
Cat fish 6-8 slices
Onion 1 grated
Garlic 7 crushed & minced
Tomatoes 3-4 pureed
Tamarind water 1 cup
Salt
Turemric 1/4 spoon
Chili powder 1 spoon
Thallippu Vadagam 2 spoon
Mustard seeds 1 spoon
Curry leaves few
Asafoetida 1/2 spoon
Sesame oil 1/4 cup
Cilantro leaves to garnish.
To Wet-Grind:
Coriander seeds 1 fistful
Dry red chilies
Coconut
Cilantro leaves 1 fistful
Method:
In a wide wok, heat oil. Add the temperinf spices and wait till they pop and set aside.
In the same oil, add garlic, onions and fry real good till aromatic.
Now followed by tomato and tamarind. Throw in all the spices, salt, turmeric and chili powder.
Add the wet-ground paste too…continue cooking over medium heat for long time. Maybe until the gravy thickens and the raw aroma is gone.
Now drop the fish into this gravy, cover and cook for 2-4 minutes. Allow this to stand for complete 2-4 hours and serve.
