  • Chopped Raw mango-1/2 medium-sized
  • Chopped Drumstick-1/2
  • Chopped Onion-1 big sized
  • Chopped Tomato-1 big sized
  • Coriander powder-4 tsp
  • Turmeric powder-1/2 tsp
  • Grated coconut-3 tbsp
  • Fish curry powder-3 tsp
  • Curry leaves
  • Garlic -7 cloves
  • Oil-3 tsp
  • Salt
  • Mustard seeds-1/4 tsp
  • Fennel seeds-1/4 tsp
  • Cumin seeds-1/4 tsp
  • Fenugreek seeds-7-10

Instructions
 

  • Add oil to a pot or pan. When the oil is hot enough add mustard seed, fennel seed, cumin seed, and fenugreek seed. Wait until it splutters.
  • Meanwhile, grind the coconut into a smooth paste with the required water.
  • Add onion, garlic and fry till it cooks well.
  • Then add chopped tomato and season with salt to cook the tomato faster.
  • Add drumstick and mango. Saute for a while.
  • Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, fish curry powder and mix them in low-heat.
  • Add enough water and cook covered in medium heat until the vegetables are cooked.
  • Now add sardines along with the coconut paste and cook covered.
  • Check the saltiness in this stage, and add if required.
  • Add curry leaves and serve hot with white rice, Black gram rice, Idli, Dosa, Chappathi, and Appam.

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.
