Notes
The fish can be added raw or fried and added to the gravy. Frying will ensure that the fish does not crumble while cooking, though I prefer adding raw fish.
I prefer to use only green chilies, though you can add ½ tsp chili powder.
You can make coconut milk by adding 2 ½ tbsp of coconut milk powder to 1 cup lukewarm water, or you may use fresh coconut to extract milk. Curry with fresh coconut milk definitely tastes far better but in our hectic schedule powder is handy.
