I have also tried  with saundhale fish.

NOTES –

  1. Tastes better when cooked in clay vessel.
  2. You can add more raw mango and reduce the tamarind juice as mango will also be sour .
  3. While cooking you can drizzle few drops of coconut oil
  4. Shallots taste better
  5. Reduce the amount of tamarind juice and add few pieces of raw mango.
  6. Instead of tamarind you can use kokum.
  7. While tempering add shallots.
  8. Tastes much better when it gets cooked and  sticks to the bottom of the vessel or burns slightly at the bottom.
