- If you boil the kuzhambu after adding the coconut milk it will start to curdle. So just heat it up in low flame and switch off the flame after adding coconut milk.
- Instead of adding sour curd, you can add tamarind. I tried with curd this time and it tastes equally good.
- I used Vanjiram fish and this curry suits any big variety fish.
