Fish Curry Story

Hello everyone!

Thanks for stopping by today to talk about fish curry.  This curry is in the Kerelan style of Southwest India.  I say “in the style of” since I discovered didn’t have all of the traditional ingredients after I started the recipe.  So much for planning and organization!

Have no fear though, this recipe is packed with spice and traditional curry vibes.  Kerela is, afte4rall, known as the land of spices.  Given Kerela’s lo cation on the coast, it played host to many trading partners who brought the dishes of their home country as well as exotic spices and herbs from far flung corners of the ancient world.

One of this distinguishing flavors of Kerela cooking is the use of coconut in all its forms…fresh, desiccated and/or  milked and creamed. This recipe uses infused coconut milk in the recipe.  I happened to have infused coconut cream today, so I used half of a cup of infused coconut cream and a half of a cup of uninfused coconut milk.  By my calculation, the recipe should have had about the same amount of THC as using all infused coconut milk.  The coconut cream has a much higher rate bonding of THC bonding than that of  coconut milk, due to its higher fat content. I think that he sauce would have been too thick using all coconut cream.  

For those of you who might be better planners, the ingredients I didn’t have on hand for a  more traditional  Kerelan recipe are fenugreek seeds and curry leaves.
