Kerala Fish Curry or Malabar matthi curry is an Indian dish where fish like sardines are cooked in a Kerala Style curry served sometimes with vegetables like okra and onions then served with rice and/or naan, popular varieties add tamarind and coconut milk which adds more complexity to the dish. A popular dish in Kerala, Bangladesh and West Bengal where seafood is a staple.
Kerala Style is usually defined by the use of shredded coconut paste or coconut milk, curry leaves, and various spices like mustard seeds, onions and chillies fried in oil. Meat is then added, usually fish or chicken then stewed on a flavourful gravy flavoured with tamarind and coconut.
While commonly sardines are used on a dish like this but today I will be using a fleshy white fish, I am just lazy to debone small fish today. It is a great dish, tasty and spicy, perfect with basmati rice and naan to soak all of that tasty sauce.
