Weekend special home cooking

Beautiful state of Kerela has so much to offer in the culinary world . Starting from appam , to chemmeen curry ,  from the simple delicacies to the lip smacking spicy food , it has an awesome food spread to offer .  I chose to make a spicy pomfret fry and it was an instant hit in family .  Ingredient  Pomfret -  6   Small onions - 8  Garlic - 8-10 cloves Ginger - 1 inch  Green Chili -  7-8  Red chili powder - 1 tea spoon  Kashmiri chili powder - 1 tea spoon  turmeric - 1 tea spoon  Salt as per taste Tamarind paste - 1 tablespoon  Curry leaves -  8-10 leaves All purpose flour or Corn Flour  -  3 tablespoon  Oil -  1 cup   Method  You need to keep the pomfrets whole . With a cut under the head you can clean it and have slits on the body both the sides . Tell your fish seller , they will cut and slit accordingly and also clean it from inside  Put all the spices , onion , ginger , garlic ,curry leaves , tamarind paste and salt in a grinder .
