Malvani King Fish (Surmai) Curry.

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.

In a blender : add freshly grated coconut (2 cups) , sliced onions (2 nos) ,  diced tomatoes (2 nos ), garlic ( 5-7 nos)  diced raw mango ( 1/4 cup) , above soaked mixture and blend them into a fine paste.

Heat a pan on medium heat , add olive oil (1 tbspn). When the oil is warm add diced onion (1 nos) , add the above fine paste, salt to taste, turmeric (1 pinch) and few kokums ( 4-5 nos). Stir and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Now wash the fish again , drain the  excess water and add these pieces slowly into the curry. Add little salt if required.

Lower the heat and bring this curry to a gentle boil . The fish pieces should not break.
