Kottayam Dry Fish Curry From Kerala
Fish constitutes a major part of Kerala recipes and every region has its own special fish curry. Kottayam fish curry owes its name to coastal region of Kottayam in Kerala. This fish curry recipe is special because it is dry. Unlike other Kerala recipes, Kottayam fish curry does not have lots of gravy; it is more like a fried masala with fish.
Kottayam fish curry is cooked with minimal water and without coconut which is usually a major ingredient in all Kerala recipes. This fish curry recipe however, requires a special ingredient called kudampuli or gambooge which is also known as Malabar tamarind. Kottayam fish curry here will be cooked with salmon fillets. You can substitute it with another sea fish if you like.
