Thanks Srivali.Do prepare and give me the feed back:-)
why is this fish curry called mappas ? looks like a nice meen curry.
Good question, actually, I haven't thought about why this dish is called fish mappas??:-).I dont know much about it, but it's an orthodox syrian christian dish.It's a very good meen curry,it taste's like meen curry but gives a difference too.In this, we use coconut milk and kodampuli.I loved it.
