Mackerel Fish Curry / Aiyla Vevichathu is a deliciously mouthwatering, spicy and tangy curry which is specially cooked in Kerala. Fish pieces are cooked on medium to low flame with masala paste and tamarind water to create this flavorful Malabar Red Fish Curry. It is served along with steamed rice or Tapioca (Kappa). Here is my version of this curry, but each recipe is a little different !

Some important tips :

1. Kashmiri red chili powder gives a medium spicy taste with rich red color. However, if you really want a hot spicy taste, then add extra 1 tsp of hot red chili powder.
2. You can add coriander powder along with the red chili powder if you want the gravy to be thick. However, if you want to use the curry for up to 1 week, then don’t add coriander powder.
3. Making this curry in a clay pot (earthen pot / kalchatti / manchatti) makes it taste more flavorful and delicious.
4. You can make this curry with any fish of your choice.
5, Using coconut oil will give it an authentic taste.

So here's the recipe from my kitchen to yours :
