This is the Malvani Fish Curry recipe I grew up eating – full of flavour, spice, and love.
Made using traditional Rawas (Indian Salmon), roasted spices, tirphal, and fresh coconut – this curry is bold, earthy, and 100% authentic to the coastal Maharashtrian style.
Whether you’re from Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, or just love seafood, this recipe will take you straight to a Konkan kitchen.

WE USE TAMARIND,
IN COCONUT PASTE, WE ADD COCONUT, PAPERCORN, LITTLE ONION. FOR MALAVANI FISH CURRY.
Tomato.. seriously
Don’t add tomatoes in Malvani curry 🙏🏻
You make fish curry like my mother in law makes it in Ankola
The audio transcription makes the videos so impersonal. Keep it natural with the chef's real audio
I don’t eat fish but still watching this. I love your videos ❤
In saraswat bramin recipe of fish curry we don't add tomato in fish curry and still it taste good.

I am from Devgad, Sindhudurg. We add little onion in tadka, but we add 1 small onion while making the paste. Try adding 1 tsp saunf and 4-5 black pepper in the paste. Trifala we add only we are making curry with bangda and halwa. We add 2-3 trifala in the paste itself!
