Very nice curry with rice
Hi!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Shall we use any other fish instead of mullet
Sure, although this prep is especially suitable for the rich natural oils of the mullet type . Do let me know if you tried with any other fish. 🙂
Why not add green chillies and ginger like we normally do with sardines and mackerel? I’ve not had grey mullet in a long time but was thinking of trying it as it did look good.
Hi.. Thank you! This is just the most traditional olden method of making with grey mullet. no ginger or tomatoes .. But of course you can adapt the recipe to suit your taste 🙂
It was simple to do with an excellent outcome.
Thank you Cherry.. Happy to know it! Visit again. 🙂
