Fish kulambu with Raw Mango

blog-fotos 010

Fish and raw mango are inseperable friends in tamilian cooking...I love the fish kulambu to be sour rather than spicy..Everyone knows that a day old fish kulambu taste more than the newly prepared one..So I always prepare more to have it with Idli/Dosa..I just love the combination of fish kulambu with dosa..
Being brought up in Madurai,which is not an seashore area..Fish is rare in my hometown..But I love fish..We will always love the things which is very rare to find ..Correct?..Like here in USA we are access to lot of cuisines..But we all love our hometown specialites like parotta/bhel puri/pav bhaji etc..I know the list will goes on..
