Fish curry was always a staple food back home as we get fresh fish any time in the local market but in Bangalore I have to wait for the weekends or some occasions to get some good fish for cooking. Last weekend when myself and hubby were craving for fish we went to a nearby market and got some good fish, so here I am today with the delicious and lip-smacking fish curry.
This was our Sea Food Lunch Platter .I served with Steamed Rice ,Prawn Masala ,Fish Fry and Anchovies Fish Curry.

Notes:
- Fish curry tastes good with fish fry and steamed rice.
- Tastes good when the curry is prepared and tasted after 5 hours or more as it needs time to enhance the flavours.
- Never skip coconut oil as it is the main flavouring agent.
