Recipe for Mangalorean Fish Curry / Mangalore Style Meen Gassi Recipe made with coconut milk. Fish Gassi Recipe.

This is a very simple recipe for Mangalore style fish curry. The star ingredient in the recipe is the masala powder made with Byadagi chillies. The flavour and colour the chillies impart cannot be beat. Here is how to do the curry.

Heat coconut oil in a pan and add in the minced ginger, and curry leaves. Saute for a minute. Add in the sliced onions, green chillies and saute till the onions are soft. Once the onions are soft, add in the chopped tomatoes and saute for a couple of minutes.

Soak a gooseberry size tamarind in a cup of water for 15 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind well to extract the pulp. Discard the seeds and the fibre. Add in the tamarind pulp and the salt. Add in half a cup of water more. Add in 2 teaspoon of saaru podi. I have used homemade saaru podi. Here is the recipe. Saaru Podi is Karnata style masala powder used in a lot of curries. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Add in the fish pieces. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for five minutes.

Add in the coconut milk and simmer for a couple of minutes more. Do not simmer for a long time after adding the coconut milk. I have used canned coconut milk today. You can use fresh coconut milk too. If using fresh coconut milk, use a combination of first and second coconut milk. Here is the recipe for making coconut milk at home.

    Mangalorean Fish Curry / Mangalore Style Meen Gassi
    Under ‘Instructions 1″, (the first paragraph), it says – “Add in the finely chopped onions”. However, onions are not listed in the list of Ingredients.

    My question is: How many onions should be used?

    Will greatly appreciate a reply.

    Thanks
