It is a typical Kerala style fish curry. Normally we use any small fish like Mackerel, Sardine, Pomfret etc to cook this type of curry. These kind of fish give us omega 3 and some vitamin E so add these kind of fish in your daily meal.Fish with mashed chilly and shallots is very simple and easy to cook. The main highlight of this recipe is it’s smashed paste. In kerala the paste is prepared on a grinding stone/mortar and pestle (Ammi kallu or ara kallu) and cooked in a clay pot (mann chatti). It gives a fabulous taste but you can use a blender too. In this recipe I used a blender. It still taste good.
