Mathiyum Manghayum Peera Pattichatu (Sardine and raw mango curry)

Keralites are fond of their fish from the ever famous Kerala fish fry to the fiery red Meen curry; malayalyees have umpteen ways to cook fish. This is because of Kerala’s long coastline, numerous rivers and backwaters, and strong fishing industry. And mathi (sardines) are a favorite among malayales. I haven’t come across any malayalee who feels otherwise.  Sardines are totally smelly and the whole house starts to smell once you cook them but once you start eating you just can’t stop  with one (to h#*  with the smell ! ).

Chemmeen Peera Pattichathu/ Kerala Style Prawns

One of my favourite foods is my mom’s meen peera pattichathu. Whenever we have meen peera pattichathu at home my sister and I would actually take more time eating our food as we would be busy digging into the juicy coconut and fish and going for second helpings of the peera.
