Malabar Fish Curry

Malabar Fish Curry is a traditional fish curry from the Malabar region of India. It is a spicy and tangy dish that is usually made with mackerel, sardines, or any other type of fish. The curry is made with a combination of spices including turmeric, coriander, cumin, pepper, and fenugreek. The flavor is further enhanced with the addition of tamarind, curry leaves, and coconut milk. This flavorful and aromatic curry is typically served with steamed rice or roti, but can also be enjoyed with a variety of other dishes.
