Kerala Fish Fry/ Chala/ Sardine Fry

Chala/Sardine Fish Fry Spicy sardine fry with rice is my absolute comfort food. Curried or fried sardine fish tastes delicious. Sardine/ Chala/Mathi is found in abundance along the long coastline of Kerala, and so many different ways to cook sardine. Sardines are sustainable food for the coastal regions and are inexpensive and healthy. My favorite way to enjoy sardine is quick and easy fry. These pictures were clicked, during our recent visit to Kerala. It was the rainy season, and we were lucky to enjoy this yummy fish fry. Earlier, I posted another version of this fish fry, along with crispy fried onions and a polichathu recipe in which sardine is wrapped and grilled in banana leaves. Sardine is a versatile seafood delicacy enjoyed in several cuisines. It can be grilled, curried, smoked, fried, or salted and dried.  It is a healthy fish, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and calcium. Sardine is not a mild-tasting fish but has a strong fish smell. If you are trying th...

Mambazham Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry

Mambazha Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry Mambazham/ Mango Pulisherri is a sweet and spicy curry made with ripe sweet mangoes. It is an old-fashioned recipe still made and served in many homes in Kerala. Whenever I get ripe mangoes, I cannot resist making mambazham pulisherri. It is absolute comfort food and goes well with steamed rice. Cooked mangoes are mixed with cumin flavored yogurt to make this delicious curry. There is a beautiful balance between the sweetness of mangoes and the sourness of spiced yogurt. The heat is from the green chilies and red chili powder and the earthiness from turmeric, fenugreek seeds, and cumin. Does it sound simple? And yes, it is a simple curry. If you are on a time crunch, this is a perfect recipe for you. Pulisheri is the most common yogurt-based dish in Kerala cuisine. Pulisheri is made both with vegetables and fruits.  Ripe sweet mangoes make delicious curries like pulisherri, pachadi, or manga curry with coconut paste. Freshl...
