Points to ponder

• If u want to make the curry spicy add more green chili and red chili powder.
• If u wish to like the seasoning at the end do it after the fish is cooked .
• If u want to make  more gravy add 2 cup water.Don't add more water it will spoil the taste..
• do not over cook the fish..
• if u want to add the kokum to the curry add it with the hot water otherwise squeeze it and then add that solution.
