Coconut chutney pomphet fry

After a long time I have a confession to make...I have this huge craze for seafood., we are back with the tour ..that is every month I go out and have something new. It is always a challenge to see to see if I get to admire new cooked recipes for the  month. Recently, we have been looking at far of places and I chose Cochin to get a bit of excitement. How much that fun has helped, I have to confess  it was a total disappointment I  don’t want to comment or speak of the experience because faiz ,my little one fell terribly sick. I told Aj we coul go alone but he insisted we go with kids as it was no fun at all without then I do agree. That we need to have kids around .about the tension that it involves around them is so rectic that I myself cannot handle. We have started doing this for two years of traveling to places new and now it is fun  great to have new food to taste.  Mostly we have been doing the same for the past two years and so far, I have been successful. As bloggers I need to keep exploring so I just have to wait and see what's going to come out of it .

Coming back to my special fry recipe , the tamarind chutney for this fish  is smothered on the fry , So that the tanginess is the ultimate ingredient for this recipe , it is something ultimate on anything that classifies as perfetc blend of spices. Before, it used to be just  in curries  before the fish is submerged in curry whether it is marinated or not depends on personal  preference. Having said that, I never over soon my fish. I would just marinate fish in tamarind water and turmeric salt and cook in gravy directly and serve. Leave it alone my crowd , at home would never have time for the curry to cook for more than 5 minutes as they say, “why to spoil the fun of having a perfectly cooked fish . .

As of lately , I ran through this recipe Last minute I had it actually at a restaurant and it was done with chicken and I was so badly craving to be done for something like  fish . That is when I got pomfret I decided  this recipe should be given a try, have been wanting to make since so long.
