Fried Fish Roce Curry


This is one of my most favourite fish curries.  It's a coconut based curry where fried fish is seasoned with aromatic Indian spices and simmered in creamy coconut milk. 

Mom used to make such curry when the fish was available in large quantities for a cheap price.  She used to tell me that in olden days when there was no refrigerator to preserve the fish, they used to fry fish & preserve to prepare such curry. 

This curry has a unique flavour of fried fish & tastes so delicious. 

King fish/seer fish, mackerel, croaker fish( dadyare/ koddai) etc are the excellent choice for this type of fish curry. 

This  curry tastes awesome with boiled rice or neeru dosa/ panpole, dosa, sanna or chapathi. 

Try this delicious Roce curry with your favourite fish. 

Please note:

Use spices as per your choice. We eat medium spicy food. 

Try to use coconut oil or ghee for seasoning. Coconut oil gives awesome flavour to this dish.
