    Interesting recipe. Also, I seem to have all the ingredients at hand... hm... :)

    btw, what is almond paste? can i just use ground almonds mixed with water? thanks

    Yes, Maninas you can, or if you want, you can also soak the almonds in water for a little while, remove the skin, and grind them with a few drops of water to a paste. ~Mona

Khatti Machli

I thought of whipping up a curry using whatever I had in the refrigerator, and believe me, it was one yummy meal alhamdulillah. Khatti Machli - Mackerel in a sour, Tomato-Tamarind Sauce I had it along with Khichdi and my family members loved the combination. The sourness of the gravy with tomatoes and tamarind gave a very good flavour to the fish. You can even have it along with Basmati Chawal or Naan ki Roti. Khatti Machli - Mackerel in a sour, Tomato-Tamarind Sauce Serves : 3 Ingredients: Fresh Mackerel - cut into big pieces (or) you can use any fish you like, like Salmon, or King fish, or Snapper Olive Oil - 2 tbsp Yellow Onion - 1, small, roughly chopped Red Ripe Tomato - 1, cut into quarters Tamarind concentrate - 2-3 tbsp Red Chilli Powder - 1 1/3 tsp Curry leaves/Karyapaar (fresh) - 8 Black Mustard seeds - 1 1/2 tsp Salt - 1 tsp Turmeric/Haldi - 1/3 tsp Dry Roasted CorianderSee...
