SOLE FISH CURRY

Whenever I prepare fish curry at home for lunch, there is no entry for side dish or vegetable curry. We 3 are happy only with steamed rice and spicy fish curry :) Normally v make it adding with or without coconut but this time I wanted something new ingredient to be added as I was thinking for long how will it taste adding sambar pd in fish curry? hmmm not bad at all. My little gal just loved it when I served with her fav idiyappam for dinner. A perfect platter to warm up a winter night with loved once ;) Do try this guys. Am sure u would too love this.
