Goan Fish Curry- 12
You could use any fish for this curry like mackerels, shark fish, pomfret etc. Fish curries with steamed rice looks like match made in heaven. They taste also too good together. I also love to dip pao (bread) in my curries.

We ate our fish curry with fried golden anchovies and rice. Sea food is my weak side, I just flip over sea food. Coming back to the curry it’s quite simple to make and tastes best after few hours. It’s made with basic ingredients easily found in your kitchen. We prefer medium spiced food however if you love hot food then add some more red chilies.

How to make Goan Fish Curry recipe:

One important thing buy fresh fish. Clean them and remove their head, tail and with the help of knife remove their scales and fins. You could cut them at home Or from the vendor.

1. Firstly marinate the fish with salt for 5-10 mins.

    I cook Goan fish curries often. I noticed u haven’t mentioned cummin seeds in the mandeli fish curry? Don’t u use it in fish curries? In my mandeli curry, I rub the onion with salt instead of frying it.

      Natty cumin seed we use in fish curries but not used for this curry. Being a goan we all have a lot of variations in our dishes. You could cumin seed as well it’s optional for this curry. Hope this helps you 🙂 take care.
