Fish curry with Pomfret/Paplet fish tastes Delicious and mouth-watering. Uses of minimum Indian spices is enough to make a great taste curry dish with fish. Eating fish common in India. Most of the Indian non-vegetarian eaters More or less Eat Sweet and saltwater fish both. The Indian state of Maharashtra, Kerala are more salt water or sea fish rather than sweet water fish. And the other states of India like Bengal and Telangana use to have sweet water fish Because many sweet water Rivards are there.
What Kind of fish is Perfect for this kind of Fish Curry “Sweetwater Fish” or “Saltwater Fish”?
Actually, there has no particular guideline for what kind of fish you must use. It depends what fish are available to you to make this curry. Uses of coconut milk quantity in this curry you must change if you want to use any sweet water fish for this cUrry.Cause sweetwater fish is itself is so tender and sweet. So if you use the quantity of the coconut milk like saltwater curry fish one. Then the delicious flavour and natural sweetness will be totally destroyed by coconut Milk.
I used Pomfret Fish for this curry. Pomfret is a Sea fish or Saltwater Fish. This dish is commonly available in Almost every Indian Fishmarket. And the best part is it’s Inexpensive. You don’t have to buy expensive fish fillets or pieces to make a great taste of Indian curry fish. You just need sufficient quantity of fresh Indian spices to make a great taste Curry with fish. I will recommend using always use with bone Fish pieces. Cause bone of fish also adds a flavour to the curry.
Why am I making this Recipe?
Currently, I am living in Mumbai, Maharashtra. .Though are Non-vegetarian. Most of Maharashtrian is Vegetarian. but Non-vegetarian Maharashtrians are eating Chicken and mutton ( Indian Goat meat ) more than Fish. And here sea fish are available In every ware because Maharashtra has a huge coastal area. With called “Konkan”. People of the Konkan is Kown as “Konkani”. And not only that Konkani peoples have there owned Comunity, culture and TRaditions and even Food culture. This Recipe is truly related to this community food culture.
I this recipe first ina Typical Maharashtrian restaurant. I don’t know much about Konkani food culture. What I only I Know this recipe is a Konkani fish recipe. One Regula customer of the restaurant told me This a Konkani dish and the leady is also belongs from Konkan area. Nowadays she is working here in Mumbai.
I tried hard o find an actual authentic way to make this curry. But I never got. Then I decided to try this recipe with local Maharashtrian spices and make it in my own way.
