Fish curry cooked in red chilli, spices and well flavored with cocum. It is the typical Kottayam style red fish curry. Also called as mulakitta meen curry / meen vevichathu. It can be served with rice or kappa (tapioca/yuca). It always tastes better after a day. This Kerala fish curry had come out well using King Fish, Seer Fish, Malabar Travelly and Salmon.

Twice I prepared this as my husband love it.I would like to say texture of your Cury , , its so nice. But what I cooked its in little bit dark in red. [I haven't knowledge to distribute the picture of my dish .how ever I will try .Thanks
Thanks Jane, added my version :) As a guy from Travancore I love the red curry versions. Missing all the good stuff since I am at the opposite part of the globe. But thanks again for bringing back the delicious memories.
The authentic curry has cocum. I haven't tried with tamarind. But it should work out. It is a good alternative since it gives the sourness to the curry. Soak tamarind in water. Add water to the curry as per your taste :)
