    FISH IN GINGER ONION GRAVY

    Published: Jan 25, 2016 by Kushi with 24 Comments . Article has 509 words. About 3 minutes to read this article.

    Fish in ginger onion gravy is a super delicious and an irresistible curry that can be prepared in less than 20 minutes using your favorite fish.

    This is another popular konkani recipe and is known as jalke alle piyava ambat where jalke means fish, alle means ginger and piyavu means onion and ambat means a curry that uses fried onions as tempering/seasoning. I have used smelt fish (motyale / bolangir) in my recipe. This dish tastes the best when served with steamed rice and is also a classic accompaniment for many south Indian breakfast recipes.

    Traditionally dry red chillies are used in the recipe. But today I have used red chilli powder. This dish tastes even better when it is a day old, because it gets sufficient time to develop flavors. So try to save some if possible. Vegetarians can substitute fish with potato, eggplant or okra in the recipe. What I love about most konkani recipes is that 1) the entire dish can be prepared in less than 20 minutes and 2) the use of coconut gives the dish a creamy texture and the natural sweetness of the coconut combined with the sourness of tamarind perfectly compliments the flavors of different spices added to the dish.
