Recipe Notes

Recipe Tips

Bombil cooks quickly, so avoid cooking for a longer time. Bombil fish is already tender in its raw form, and overcooking it may turn it into mushy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of tamarind?

If you do not prefer tamarind, you can substitute it with kokum. Use 3-5 pieces of kokum or as required depending on the taste.

How to make the curry extra spicy?

You can add a teaspoon of red chilli powder along with the green masala paste while sautéing it. This might change the colour of the curry slightly.
