Fish Mappas





Fish/Meen Mappas


 Mappas is a popular recipe in Kerala and is made with fish or meat. This traditional dish has a rich creamy texture and is made with coconut milk. Here I am making with fish. This curry resembles a delicately flavored fish stew.  It goes well with appam or parotta.



Ingredients
Fish- 1 lb
Shallots- 1/2 cup
Tomatoes- 2 large
Green chilly- 2
Ginger- 2 inch
Garlic - 5
Chilly powder- 1tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder- 2 tsp
Coconut milk- thin- 1 cup
Coconut milk thick-3/4 cup
Vinegar- 2 tsp
oil 
salt
curry leaves


Clean fish and marinate with a little of turmeric, chilly powder and salt and fry it slightly and keep aside. (You can avoid this frying step  for large chunk fish like King fish)
Chop onions and tomatoes. Mince garlic, green chilly and ginger. 
In a separate bowl mix chilly powder, turmeric and coriander powder with little water and make a paste and set aside.
In a hot pan pour oil and splutter mustard seeds, and add the minced ginger and garlic and curry leaves and saute it for a minute. Add shallots and fry till it becomes golden brown and mix in the chilly coriander paste and fry it till oil separates and then add tomatoes. Allow tomatoes to get completely cooked and pour in thin coconut milk and allow it to boil. Slide in the fish pieces, cover and cook in medium heat.When fish is almost cooked add vinegar( adding vinegar is optional). Finally add the thick coconut milk and take off from the heat after a minute, just before it starts to boil. Quick and easy Mappas is ready.


Try this...


Hope you will all enjoy.
