One fine Sunday after I
spoke to my dad on a long international call about curries. I decided to
prepare our traditional malvani surmai fish curry. My father always loved my cooking,
especially fish curries.
This Surmai curry is an
incredible combination of Indian spices. Malvani fish recipes are skilled at achieving
flavours and texture. This recipe is spicy, quick
and easy to make at home.
