MEEN KOTTHU CURRY

Usually I prepare fish in curries or fry most of the time. This "Meen kotthu curry" is nothing but a sidedish item which is remarkably easy and delicious. This recipe is made with shredded fillets meat which I prepared here with Tilapia fish. It could also be done with Salmon too. I love them to have with Kanji a lot. I learnt this unique recipe from my husband who also cooks well.
