Kerala Style Avoli Curry  – Kerala Meen Curry recipe

Pomfret/Avoli is a very delicate fish. Pomfrets are perciform fishes belonging to the family Bramidae. They are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and the largest species, the Atlantic pomfret, Brama brama, grows up to 1 m long.

There are numerous ways to prepare fish Kerala style: stewed in coconut milk, pan fried with spices, cooked with fresh ground coconut, spiced up with coccum, raw mango or erumban puli.

You can use any fish for making this recipe. Here, I have used Pomfret which is very favorite fish for my family. If you learn this recipe, you will be an expert in making any fish recipes.
