Description

This masala is what my mother uses to fry fish . Really tasty . Back home in Coimbatore it’s really difficult to get fresh fish so my liking towards fish was less but once I got married to Tirunelveli the quest for fresh fish was over . any guests from Coimbatore when ever fish is served they go head over heels about the fresh fish . happy fishy Sunday .
