  • Put some curry leaves when you fry fish as it gives good taste and smell.
  • It’s a spicy dish. If u want it to be less spicy reduce the amount of pepper powder.
  • If u feel your dish is becoming too dry when cooking, sprinkle some water and mix again.
  • After putting onion in the nonstick pan, cook with the pan covered as it makes onion golden brown fast.
