Ginger – 1/2″ piece chopped

Curry leaves – 2 sprigs

Kudampuli/Gambooge – 2 pieces

Method

Wash and soak  kudampuli in 1/4 cup of water.  Coarsely grind all the ingredients mentioned above.  Heat oil in a non-stick pan and splutter mustard seeds.  Add shallots, ginger and curry leaves.  Fry till shallots turn light brown.  Add coarsely ground coconut mixture.  Also add the kudampuli along with water.  Add the fish pieces and salt.  Mix gently and close with a lid.  Cook on medium flame till done.  Stir gently, in-between.  Open the lid and allow excess water to evaporate.  Serve tasty ‘Meen Peera’ with hot rice.  Cheers!

I used Sardines to prepare this dish.  Anchovies, small Mackerels and Prawns can be used to make yummy ‘Meen Peera’.
