Goan Mackerel Curry

When i make fish curry its feast in my home because i enjoy rice more with fish curry then any other curry .We make fish curry by using different types of fish and each fish gives all together different taste to the same coconut curry.

Goan curry is mainly prepared by using coconut as its base along with some spices like red chilies,dry coriander seed ,cumin,tamarind and other few spices.I feel its also a healthy form of curries since there is no use of oil but yes there are few fish curries and gravies were we do make use of oil.The colour of the curries depends on the type of chilies used,in case of this fish curry recipe you will find the colour very pale because the chilies used are short chilies available in near by Store called as Guntur chilies mostly grown in Andhra Pradesh which has spice but no colour.
