Tilapia Fish Curry/Kerala Style.

Tilapia Fish Curry. Fish is an integral part of Kerala Cuisine. There are hundreds of variations for Kerala Fish curry. The main part of this curry is coconut and tamarind sauce this curry can be cooked with any fish and it will taste great. To cook this curry the main reason was I got the Indian tilapia fish, there is a new shop has opened near my house who sells even all the Indian fishes, like rohu, mackerel, tilapia etc. and I'm so so happy now I even get to taste Indian fish without even being in India.. This spicy and tangy curry goes so well with plain rice and this was our last Saturday's lunch and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Do cook this curry and make your family happy..
