If you are looking for a different kind of a fish curry, apart from the usual ones, then do give this recipe a try. I have used pistachios along with some mustard seeds and yoghurt for the gravy base. It turned out simply yummy.
Mustard oil is used for the cooking and also to the end product to further enhance the flavour. An amazing and an exotic fish curry that has a smooth and a creamy texture. A perfect recipe for special occasions, it is best enjoyed with only and only hot steamed rice. So check the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.
