1) Dry fish- According to ur choice- I used Parava”

3) Curry leaves – as required

4) Chopped Pearl onion ( kunjjulli )– ½ cup

Method



Soak the dried fish in water to remove the excess salt from the fish, after 20 mints, clean the fish and keep aside. Extra salt is not required for cooking, as we get enough salt from the dry fish.

Then crush the peal onion and dry red chilies together and keep aside.

Heat coconut oil in a pan and fry the dried fish half way then crush it and keep aside.

Use the same pan we used for fish frying, if oil is not there add 1 more table spoon and add curry leaves along with peal onion – chilly mix for about 2-3 mints, finally add the fried fish and mix everything together and sauté till everything combine well.
