Fish is one of the most delicate and healthy meats in non-vegetarian cuisine. We Indians consider fish to be a delicacy and love to eat it whenever it is available. It tastes delicious all the way it is prepared. They are many different varieties to prepare fish curry but the best way to prepare the fish curry is with the ingredients like coconut, tamarind combination, or fried onion-tamarind combination.

For any fish dish, first, the fish is to be cleaned thoroughly with salt, turmeric powder, and rice flour. Then soak the fish in salt water for about 15 minutes, then marinate the fish and rest it for 30 minutes to 1 hour for tasty and juicy fish. Then the fish masala is to be prepared. Freshly grounded fish masala gives a more heavenly taste than readymade masala. So it's effortless to prepare the fish masala for this recipe. For this recipe blend the ingredients like dry coconut. cloves. cardamom, cinnamon, shahi jeera, cumin seeds, garlic cloves, and tamarind. Blend to smooth paste and add the masala when required. Most of the fish curries are prepared by adding tamarind. The sourness of tamarind makes the fish more flavourful, making your mouth water.
