Notes

  • Mud/Clay pot is traditionally used to make fish curry. It enhances the taste and flavor.
  • Remove the gut and clean the sardines if using the fresh one.
  • Tamarind pulp can be used to replace the raw mango.
  • To replace store-bought fish curry, use red chilli powder only. That is more than enough and the taste of this dish won't get changed.
  • Fresh raw fish is used in this recipe. If you use canned sardines in this recipe, the taste may get change.
  • Coconut milk can be substituted for coconut paste.
  • Add curry leaves in the final stage to get a flavourful curry.
