    kappa and meen…mm an unforgettable combination…

    Hey you know! we call kappa as cheeni in kayamkulam. Your meens looks good but I have never tried this way of cooking.

    I also prefer man kalam for preparing meen.

    My mom cooked fish curry all the time when I was in Thailand. I've never done it myself though, I meant from scratch like this. I always use ready-made curry paste when I cook curry here in the U.S. so I'm so excited to give this recipe a try, thanks for sharing!
    p.s. Maybe with tofu and lots of veggies:)
