Mathi Meen Kuzhambu, learn how to prepare south indian village style sardine fish curry with step by step photos. There are various versions of fish curry recipes shared in my blog. Fish curry are usually tamarind or coconut based curries which is served with rice and sometimes with idli too. If you have not tried that combination, then do try it.

Mathi Meen Kuzhambu | Village style Fish Curry

Marinate mathi meen with turmeric and sambar powder, fry them till crispy and use to prepare curry. I have not tried adding raw sardine fish to the curry. Curry leaves, shallots and coriander powder are ground to fine paste. Instead of using regular onions, try shallots / sambar vengayam to prepare fish curries or mutton or chicken curry. You can also add coconut paste here. You can try this curry with podi sankara / small sized red snapper, sudumbu meen etc.. Use the left over oil from frying fish to prepare curry.

Some of the non veg curry recipes shared in my blog, Spicy Andhra Style Egg Curry, Kodi Kura, Punjabi Chicken Curry, Mutton Roganjosh and Prawn Butter Masala. If you try any of my recipes, then do share your feedback with us.
