Fish Curry with added Pepper

             Here in Tamilnadu, Fish Kuzhambu / Curry has been made in different way...Place to place it differs...In Chennai I have seen people making it without coconut paste, in Deep south like Nellai to kanyakumari we prepare it with coconut paste...Even a slight variation will definitely change it taste...
Some more spicy, some tangy, some with the taste of sweet and tangy.
We have enjoyed the uniqueness of each fish curry, its flavors and still some taste of this curry linger in our tongue whenever we think of it.

Here I prepared with the roasted pepper, jeera and curry leaves with the addition of fresh coconut grinded to give a thick kuzhambu / curry.
Added very little chilly powder, you can relish the pepper taste and flavor with Fish curry.
