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:

1. Dissolve the ground sorghum in about a cup of water.
2. Line the bottom of an earthen pot with curry powder.
3. Mix pepper, cinnamon, and salt into the goraka paste. Coat the fish pieces with this paste.
4. 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.
5. 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.
