Deep fried Cod fish

I usually do not prefer deep fried fish. It feels very oily no matter what. But this recipe of deep fried
cod fish has no egg in  the batter and I really like it.
Serve it with coleslaw and you have a delicious dinner.

Saba Fish Curry

Back in India, when I was a little kid, my mom used to go shopping for fish on those special sundays and I used to accompany her sometimes. And boy I hated that stench. And sometimes when we used to go to Dhavaleswaram my mom would just stop my dad's official car and just buy fresh fish from the fish mongers by the side of the 5th largest river in India The Mighty Godavari . Now I know why the curries she used to make with them tasted so darn delicious- Cause they were fresh
                 Anyway, I made the most basic fish curry my mom used to make and I am serving it with Tomato Dal
