  1. Add the minced onion, garlic and tomato and sauté well for 3 minutes.

  2. Now add the tamarind water.

  3. Add the chilly powder and coriander powder also and wait till the mixture boils.

  4. Once it starts boiling keep the stove in sim and allow the curry to cook in low fire for 10 to 12 minutes till the gravy has reduced to half.

  5. Now slowly add the fish one by one in such a way that all the pieces stay aloof. Once the fish is added, you will find the gravy becoming watery.

  6. Increase the flame a little and cook for 5 more minutes. Always make sure that you use the gravy only 2 or 3 hours after cooking.(this time is for the fish to get the taste of the gravy) .

  7. It is always better not to transfer the contents to another vessel since the fishes are likely to break while transferring. Yummy Fish kulambu READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
