I am afraid karuvadu is non every bit pop inwards the Kongu regions of TamilNadu where nosotros moved to subsequently the kickoff few years of life inwards Madurai where nosotros could larn all kinds of seafood. Add to this my mom's vegetarian side of the identify unit of measurement whose nutrient preparations in addition to habits is what I select largely adopted it is fifty-fifty a wonder I select the guts to gear upwards dried fish inwards my ain kitchen. If non for the dearest of fish I would non select gone whatever where nigh it.

I purchased some dried seer fish from a Srilankan shop when I went at that topographic point amongst my friend. From fish sambol to seeni sambol in addition to everything fish inwards betwixt my occasional visits to this shop is good worth it.

Since these dried fish are heavily salted they demand to endure appropriately cooked for it to endure tasty.

Every portion inwards Tamil Nadu has its ain version of dried fish kuzhambu. Here is mine. I added brinjals because brinjals in addition to dried fish similar a check made inwards sky are therefore practiced together. Even drumsticks would endure a practiced add-on simply I decided to give it a pass.

Karuvadu is something I would non gear upwards real oft simply occasionally having the trouble solid scent a flake fishy is non a bad thing. From wrinkling her olfactory organ at the scent of the fish to enjoying it DD2's hit of emotions from when I started cooking it to when she tasted it in addition to asked for to a greater extent than is the typical reaction of most people tasting this for the kickoff time.

For those who are worried most the scent it is exclusively initially when it starts to gear upwards in addition to then at that topographic point is hardly whatever noticeable smell.

I watched this you lot tube video-Vathalagundu Karvadu kulambu in addition to that is what propelled me into the kitchen to gear upwards the dried fish I select been saving for around a year.

To operate on it vegetarian skip the dried fish add together to a greater extent than shallots, a few pieces of drumsticks in addition to a Irish Gaelic patato or beans similar val(mochai).
