This Mackerel curry is a rustic village recipe which my great grandmother who lived in Kerala used to make. She used a traditional hand mortar to make the masala, and cooked it in earthern pot which made it even more tasty.
I have eaten and loved this during my childhood but somehow it was out of our memory from a long time.
During my recent visit to Mangalore/Kerala, I managed to ask my aunt, grand aunt and Mom and with their part of partial recipes I managed to recreate it, just the way my Great GrandMom would cook.
