Fish Curry for The Soul

 

Fish Curry 

Fish curry is not cooked regularly in our home. But since past few days I had been seeing too many pics of fried fish in the social media so fish slices were coated in kasundi fried for few minutes and simmered in curry. we love this curry with rice and salad.

chicken do pyaza curry for cold winter nights

How you feel when the temperature is too low its snowing and food is still to be cooked in the kitchen I was caught in a similar situation few days back

then I was filled with memories of this simple curry which would be prepared at home sometime that time I was too young to ask the recipe or be curious what all is being added to the curry so this one is my own interpretation of how to prepare Chicken do pyaza
