Growing up, I would spend my two months summer vacations in Kerala. I would be thrilled with the very thought of going there. The memories of travelling by the konkan rail, waiting for the Doodh Sagar waterfalls falls and then for the train to reach kerala, is still fresh. I remember waiting anxiously for the train to enter kerala and asking my dad ‘Are we there yet?’ frequently.
Apart from the pure excitement of being with family and cousins, what I loved most was watching the lush greenery, the coconut grooves, the rivers, and streams for hours. A state where seafood is in abundance and fish curry can be found in various forms and served with every meal. Its a staple just like rice and a must in every household.
A fish fry and a post from Gods own country. Yet another vacation and my destination for some more time.
For added flavor: Make a paste of fresh ginger + garlic + curry leaves or Corriander leaves(Cilantro) and add to the spice mix.
Cut slits only if, using fish with bones. Do not cut slits on fillets.
