As freshly cut tapioca pieces bubble in a seasoned earthen pot, the chef introduces freshly ground coconut paste into the pot. She then adds coconut oil and vibrant curry leaves to the mix, elevating the enchanting aroma.
In another earthen pot, shallots, ginger, garlic, green chillis, and curry leaves are sautéed and spiced up. Kerala’s very own Malabar tamarind is introduced to the mix, followed by fresh sardines. Once the contents of the pot boil, the chef extinguishes the flame, with delightful aromas filling the air. With precision, she transfers the culinary masterpieces onto a banana leaf, imparting perfection to Kerala’s iconic dish – Kappa and Fish Curry.
