Meen Manga Curry (Fish Curry with Mango)
We didn’t meet here for a while right? Well I had been on vacation to my native Kerala. This time during visit I made sure that I had only Kerala nadan curries. I had so much of variety of traditional dishes that I am filled with memories of the same. So here is the first one which is coming to my mind. My Mother’s special Meen Manga Curry

There are so many varieties of fish. It would be great to know which masala/preperation style for which fish.
Oily fish like Mathi vs. Netholi or Nei meen , etc. A chart will also be helpful. Thank you!
Dear Slogan Murugan,
Almost all recipes posted http://vimmysrecipeworld.com/category/seafood-recipe/ will work out for Neimeen or any fish with good flesh.
