The rich spice content along with the aroma of coconut oil, makes this dish a perfect combination for <a href=\"http:\/\/pepper2salt.com\/appam\/\">palappam<\/a> fried rice or <a href=\"http:\/\/pepper2salt.com\/ghee-rice\/\">ghee rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fish cut in to medium pieces (see picture)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : \u00bd kg<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For marinating:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Chilli powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 1 Tsp<\/li><li>Pepper powder&nbsp; : 2 Tsp<\/li><li>Turmeric powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : \u00bd Tsp<\/li><li>Salt for taste.<\/li><li>Ginger garlic paste&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 1 Tsp<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For gravy:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Onion (chopped)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 2<\/li><li>Tomato (chopped)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : \u00be<\/li><li>Green chilli (chopped)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 5<\/li><li>Crushed garlic&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; :&nbsp; 2 Tbsp<\/li><li>Crushed ginger&nbsp;&nbsp; :&nbsp; 2 Tsp<\/li><li>Kokum (\u0d15\u0d41\u0d1f\u0d02 \u0d2a\u0d41\u0d33\u0d3f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; :&nbsp; &nbsp; 3 pieces<\/li><li>Turmeric powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : \u00bc Tsp<\/li><li>Chilli powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 2 Tsp<\/li><li>Coriander powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : \u00bd &nbsp;Tsp<\/li><li>Pepper powder&nbsp; : \u00bd Tsp<\/li><li>Coconut milk (thin)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 2 cup<\/li><li>Coconut milk (thick)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : \u00bd cup<\/li><li>Garam masala&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : \u00bd T sp<\/li><li>Oil&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 3 Tbsp<\/li><li>Curry leaves&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; : 2 sprig<\/li><li>Salt for taste<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/pepper2salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC_0047.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pepper2salt.com\/sindhus-kitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC_0047.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pepper2salt.com\/sindhus-kitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC_0047-300x121.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Ingredients<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Marinate the fish with marinating ingredients and keep for minimum 1 hour.<\/li><li>In a pan\/kadai, fry the marinated fish with enough oil (not specified in ingredients).
