Fond memories of eating this dish as a child of course even though I re-created still doesn’t taste like Mum’s. However something that will stick with me, soon after I got married Mum came to visit me and I had prepared this Masala Fish for dinner, Mum joined me for dinner and her comment was “This fish tastes better than mine” What better compliment could a daughter get from her Mum. 😍❤️
