Salmon Fish Curry (Chepala Pulusu)

Salmon is one of the richest sources of Omega-3s. They help in the prevention of heart problems. Scientists say that salmon is the secret of eternal youth. If you want your skin to glow, eat it and you will never age. So you know why dermatologists recommend salmon. I give the credit of this recipe to my friend Shilpa. I learnt this recipe from her.

You can follow the same recipe for cat fish or any other fish.

Ingredients:
  • Salmon fillets washed
  • 1 big Onion chopped
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 3 Green Chillies
  • Cardamom, Cloves and Cinnamon
  • Turmeric, Chilli powder, Salt
  • Masala powder
  • Oil
  • Coriander leaves and Spring Onions for garnish
  • Curry leaves

Directions:
1. Take a wide pan, add oil. Be liberal with oil. Heat oil and add cardamom, cloves and cinnamon.
2. Cook on low flame. Add curry leaves, onions and sliced green chillies. Add turmeric, ginger-garlic paste.
3. Meanwhile add water to tamarind and make tamarind juice. Fish curry has to be tangy. So add more tamarind.
4. When the onions are cooked add chopped tomato. Then add the tamarind juice with required water.
5. Later add chilli powder and salt. When the gravy is ready add the cut salmon fillets. Cover and cook on low flame. Please note that the salmon fillets have to be completely immersed in the tamarind sauce.
6. Do not stir. When the salmons are completely cooked add the garam masala powder. Garnish with coriander leaves and spring onions. Leave it for 5 minutes and then switch off the stove.
