Dry fish curry Recipe
A dry fish curry, prominent towards the southern regions of India, (kerala). It has different variations depending on the region. This i presume would be one of the easiest methods that would work great for working class people and families that are on the go.

| Coconut | 1⁄2 | |
| Kodam puli | 4 (gamboge) | |

| Turmeric | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Coriander powder | 3 Teaspoon | |
| Chilli powder | 3 Teaspoon | |
| Potato | 1 , diced or slice in long thin strips | |
| Coconut oil | 5 Teaspoon | |
| Salt | To Taste |
Directions
1. Wash the dry fish and keep aside
2. Boil the kodam puli in 1/2 cup water to extact the juices for about 5 mintues.
3. In a pan add the dry fish, coconut,coriender powder, chillipowder, green chilli and tumeric and the kodampuli with the juices, potato and salt (if it is salted fish please avoid salt)with the oil.

You must be wondering, why do i have to put everything together and cook, but trust me on this it is a experience that you are going to enjoy.
There can be a few variations done to the process. If you are unsure of what kodam puli is, it can be substituted with un-ripe mango. Another variation can be adding plantain jardiniere (finger cut) that can be added instead of the potato or also along with the potato in equal proportion.

There are many kind of dry fishes and they have different sort of taste. So it is better to indicate a specific dry fish.

This recipe sounds wonderful! If the Kerela Kodam puli isn't available regular tamarind should be OK I think?
