A tangy-red fish curry for lunch

Fish curry flavoured with red tangy tomatoes is a luscious and most sought after dish at every home in Kerala. Though served with rice, it is also mouth-watering when had with kappa (tapioca). The sourness of tomato when mixed with fish produces a flavour unlike any other. If you are a fan of tomato, you really should give this a try.
