Andhra Fish Curry Spicy / Meen Kulambu

Many of us like fish gravy,  I love fish cooked in the tamarind juice. I have been trying out many recipes and this one turned to be one among those i liked. I normally add the fish in Kuzhambu before adding tamarind juice coz i like the fish to be cooked well in tamarind. But the fish will break into small pieces, so if you are so concerned add the fish at the end as suggested in the recipes. Fish curry tastes better the next day, try it out. Have Fun !!
