Let’s Make a Fish Ambul Thiyal – By Malsha – eLanka
Ingredients:
- 500g Sea fish (such as bala fish or kelawalla fish)
- 1 ball of boiled and ground sorghum
- 25g freshly crushed pepper
- 10-15 curry leaves
- Salt to taste
- A little water
Method:
- Dissolve the ground sorghum in about a cup of water.
- Line the bottom of an earthen pot with curry powder.
- Mix pepper, cinnamon, and salt into the goraka paste. Coat the fish pieces with this paste.
- Place the fish neatly in the clay pot. Pour the remaining goraka mixture and a small amount of water over the fish. Cover with a lid and cook on low flame.
- Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the flame and simmer until the water settles.
Tips:
- Ideal fish choices: bala fish, kelawalla fish.
- Exercise caution with the flame; this recipe uses minimal water, facilitating quick washing.
- Optional: Enhance the flavor with a small piece of cinnamon, ginger, garlic, or rampe, but omit for a quicker preparation.
