Now this recipe comes straight from my mother in law’s kitchen. Karimeen is a delicacy for most of the malayalees.  You can try this recipe with Pomfret and Kingfish also.

Here goes the recipe:

1. Karimeen – 1/2 kg, cleaned
2. Turmeric powder – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
   Chili powder – 1/2 – 1 tsp
   Pepper powder – 1/2tsp
   Vinegar – 1 tsp
   Salt
3. Onion – 1, big
   Ginger & garlic – 1 tbsp each, finely sliced
   Green chili – 4-5
4. Tomato – 1, big
5. Cardamom – 2
   Cloves – 2
   Cinnamon – a small piece
6. Pepper powder – 1 tsp
7. Cashew paste – 1 1/2 tbsp
8. Medium thick coconut milk – 1 cup
   Thick coconut milk – 1 cup
9. Coconut oil
   Salt
   Curry leaves

Marinate the cleaned fish pieces with number 2 ingredients and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Shallow fry the marinated fish pieces, it should be half cooked only. Make sure that fish pieces do not become brown colour.

In the same pan, splutter cardamom, cinnamon & cloves. Add ginger, garlic, onion & green chili. Saute till the onion becomes soft. Add tomato and cook till it becomes soft. Add medium thick coconut milk and salt. When it boils add the fried fish pieces. Cover and cook in low – medium flame for 5-10 minutes. Add cashew paste to the thick coconut milk and stir well. Add the thick coconut milk to the curry. Cook for 5 minutes (approx). When it is about to boil, remove from gas. Garnish with coriander leaves.
