How to make fish curry in Kerala Style
Clean   and wash the fish pieces nicely with clean water at least twice before preparing the fish.
Then  apply the lime juice all over the fish pieces  and then rinse it well.
 Now if you have a Manchatti with you, you can use that or use a wide pan.
If it is the manchatti then put it on the fire for about half a minute or so to heat it up.
As soon as the pot / manchatti gets hot add 2 table spoon coconut oil to the vessel.
Chop  onions,  green chillies, dry red chilli, garlic, ginger into small pieces.
Add them in to the hot oil and stir well. Fry till golden.
Then add  ginger garlic paste, salt to taste, red chilli powder, turmeric powder to the pan / vessel. Add curry leaves also to this mixture.
Grind the grated coconut to a smooth paste  and add to boiling gravy in the vessel.
Mix till the mixture turns a little brownish, that is about 3-4 minutes.
Pour a glass of water to the vessel. Bring it to boil, add the cleaned and washed fish into the boiling gravy.
Simmer for about 15 minutes.
As the Fish curry gets ready, you will get a nice aroma of the Kerala style fish curry , just check if the fish is tender and cooked.

Points to Note:
While cooking the fish curry always remember not to stir it with a spatula or a spoon. The fish pieces will get broken and ghet mashed up. So just hold on to the pan by the sides and just swirl it around, so that all the flavours mix well.
You can use any other oil for cooking this curry dish, but Coconut oil will get you the best taste.
