Now on to the recipe for the Fish Gravy. I also had a few mango pieces and remembering one Inji's Fish and Mango Curry recipe added that to the curry too. Inji glad to see your blog is back up and running but you are so quiet. Whats up? Give us an update please.

3. Add the spice powders, mix well

I dont eat fish, but the curry looks soooo appetizing
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting way of cooking salmon! Carrot kheer looks great too
ReplyDeleteI always end up grilling salmon. Have a slight mental block to salmon in curry style, but your curry looks tempting. Thanks!maybe now I will try it.
ReplyDeleteThe ingredients used for this curry seems to be little different . Do u make vatha kuzhambu podi at home coz I have never seen them here in the Indian stores here.
ReplyDeleteShankari you can try the recipe with eggplant or pavarkai.
ReplyDeleteRP try it out you will be hooked.
Shaheen, I wanted to eat fish curry and Salmon is all I had, it makes the salmon soft and flaky and since the curry is not watery it coats the salmon and is yummy, try it.
Priya, the podi I used for this recipe is from Grand Snacks and Sweets. I have the recipe for the podi as a link, try that one or substitute with puzhi kozhambu powder.
I too have never seen them in grocery stores here. Maybe next time you visit India, I usally buy 2 or 3 jars and put them in the freezer.
Thanks for your Halloween gift ideas! I will surely do that next year! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the podi recipe Indo. I never knew Grand Snacks & Sweets sell these kinda podis too. I will surely look for them when I visit India.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteyour fish curry looks yummm and is definitely diffrent form what I have had. Is this similar to konkani fish curry (pardon me for my ignorance) ? But that powder might be difficult for me to get. Send me some :)
Thanks for visiting my blog

Hi ISG, have not had salmon in a very long time. The recipe looks great, and through this found your eggplant recipe with the same powder. I'll have to give it a try, thanks! Also like the healthy carrot dessert :)
ReplyDeleteSandeepa, this dish atleast the idea is from Tamilnadu cuisine, I am not familiar with Konkani cuisine so don't know if it is similar. I have a link for the powder give that a try.
ReplyDeleteLinda try the fish recipe and the carrot kheer, it should be a breeze for you.
Wonderful combo, Indo! Fish looks delicious with white rice and finish off with carrot kheer.Perfect!!:))
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds delicious! I'm always looking for different ways to serve salmon. Thanks!
