DIRECTIONS :

Spice Mixture 1

In a bowl,add chettinadu curry masala, fenugreek powder,coriander powder,garam masala,dry chilli powder,grey salt,hing.Add 50 ml of cold pressed gingelly oil and make a paste.Fill in a tumbler and add a tablespoon or brush.

Veg Mixture 2
Crush the shallots,kokum,coconut jaggery,coconut copra,curry leaves,black pepper in a stone hand crusher mortar.

Coat the cut koduva fish in ginger garlic paste and rest for 1 hour untill it gives out water.

No need to add eggs as it will cause sweetness or absorb excess oil,giving a nutty taste.

If found watery,then sprinkle some corn starch.Donot add flour since it will absorb all oil and it will not smoke,since smokiness is the best part of the food.

Add the veg mixture 2 to the fish and mix well.

In a stone dosa tawa,heat oil and fry the mixed koduva fish in medium flame.

Turn the fish after 5 minutes.To the cooked side add 1 tbsp of spice mixture 1.After the other side is cooked turn over.Cook in low flame.There might be slight darkening and burning due to the presence of shallots,which adds flavour.

Add the spice mix as required and fry on both sides carefully without breaking the fish.

Set in banana leaves.Serve with thinly sliced Kaffir Lemons and Sweet Pink Guava.
