Fish Roce Curry

Fish Roce curry/ Fish curry with coconut milk 


Among all types of fish curries,  roce curry is my most favourite one. 

'Roce' means 'coconut milk' in konkani. 

This  coconut based curry is so flavourful & super delicious. Here , fish is seasoned with aromatic Indian spices and simmered in creamy coconut milk. 

This curry goes extremely well with boiled rice or sanna, dosa & neeru dosa/ panpole. 

Butter fish is an excellent choice for this curry. You can also use king fish, pomfret, rawns( Indian salmon) etc for this curry. 

This was my parents favourite curry . My dad used to get huge fish fillets & mom was an expert in cooking this delicious curry. 

Try this delicious Roce curry with your favourite fish.

Coorgi Pork Coorgi Pork is the iconic pork dish from Coorg region.  It's spicy, tangy, aromatic & so yummy! Here is the Youtube Video for this dish: This is the most loved and appreciated dish in my house. I usually serve this as a starter/ appetizer with drinks.  The main ingredient which gives authentic taste to this dish is the coorgi masala powder, which is mentioned in the recipe.  The bright blackish colour and the unique taste comes from the souring agent called " Kachampuli" which is a coorgi vinegar.  This semi dry dish goes well as a side dish with any meal or as an appetizer/starter. This authentic coorgi dish is served in almost every single restaurant in Coorg region with super delicious rice roties.  Recipe is easy & simple if the coorgi masala is prepared well in advance.  Try this delicious recipe.  Recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 kg pork 2 chopped onions 7-8 flakes of garlic ( chopped) 1/2" ginger ( chopped) 2 tsp kachampuli Salt, little coriander
