How to cook Shark Fish Curry

  • Heat oil in a pan and add the chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies. Saute for a minute
  • Next add the sliced shark fish, salt and the bottle masala and mix well gently.
  • Now into ½ cup of warm water add flour and tamarind and extract the juice and add this to the shark fish. Add additional ½ cup water and bring the gravy to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the shark fish is cooked.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and slit green chillies
  • Serve with Rice Rotis or steamed rice.

Notes

  1.  Use any fish masala if you don't have bottle masala.
  2.   If you need more gravy, increase the quantity of water and flour.  Also, adjust the masala and salt.
  3.  Add more masala if you need the gravy to be spicy.
  4.  Use coconut milk instead of water if you want coconut-based gravy and then skip the wheat flour. 
  5. For tamarind extract, soak a small ball of tamarind in ½ cup lukewarm water.
