Sankara Meen Curry/Kuzhambu/,Red Snapper Curry

Sankara meen curry/ kuzhambu is one of my favourite among all Non-veg curries. I would love to have with piping hot rice or with Idli or Dosa. Honestly ,I the one who eat fish curry in my home and, my son eats only fish fries. If at all my Hubby say no to any food ,it is The Sea Food. So, preparing Fish at home is rare and I make sure to relish Sea food delicacies at my Parents place. Today my good old friend came to visit us and ,I had the opportunity to prepare my favourite Fish curry.

Red Snapper is one variety, I love to prepare for both curry and fries. Today, I chose Red snapper for this recipe. This recipe is made in south Indian style with the basic ingredients available in pantry.Tamarind is the main ingredient which make this dish lingers our taste buds with the Tangy taste.For making fish curry ,I prefer old Tamarind which gives the appetising colour to gobble an extra morsel food. There are different preparation of Fish curry in many household, some add raw mangoes to the curry to give the tangy taste and some add more Tomatoes and less Tamarind. I have used less tomatoes and more of Tamarind with the regular needed spice powders and little coconut paste. Lets jump to the recipe with step by step preparation.
