Kerala Fish Curry
This Kerala fish curry is make with hake. It easy to prepare and has a creamy spicy taste that mirrors the combination of
aromatic ingredients it consists of. Kerala is state located at the south western
coast of the Indian sub continent. It's beauty and location have made it one of Asia's favorite Tourist destinations. Keralan cuisine is very diversified and could be described as a food lover's paradise. The fish I used for this curry is "Hake" which I purchased fresh from our prefered fish market.
