#indiankitchen - Fish is loaded with proteins, nutrients and omega 3 fatty acids. So it is advised to have fish in our daily diet if possible. So here is a delicious and an authentic Andhra recipe of fish cooked in a spicy and a tangy gravy. Red chilli powder and tamarind juice is the base of the gravy. I have used King Fish, but any other fish is okay.

It is traditionally prepared very spicy, but the red chilli powder can be adjusted according to individual taste. I have used Kashmiri red chilli powder and this fish gravy is best relished with plain steamed rice. #goldenapron
