AYALA VALLI KURUMULAGU

This delightful twice-cooked fish is moist and flavoursome. I've never tasted mackerel prepared like this before. you taste the tartness of the lime, the whisper of the cheriya pepper, sweetness of the shallots and the flavour of the fish that rounds off everything. Eat with the pumpkin leaves if you're looking to get some fiber into your system.

AVOLI VARUTHARACHA CURRY

The fish has soaked up the robust flavours of roasted, hand-ground masala, you can taste the toasty, creamy notes of the coconut, the earthy flavours of the coriander and the sharp edge of the tamarind. The poricha pathiri makes for a scrumptious accompaniment to this delicious fish curry, as would some local boiled rice.
