👩‍🍳 How to make Enoki Fish Curry

  1. Prepare fish (5 mins): Check that small fish are cleaned properly, remove any remaining scales. Do not cut if whole fish are small enough.
  2. Brown onions (3 mins, medium-high heat): Heat coconut oil, add sliced onions. Fry for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Build spice base (3 mins, medium heat): Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Add Kashmiri chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, black pepper powder. Stir for 2 minutes; oil separates.
  4. Add tomatoes (3 mins, medium heat): Add chopped tomatoes, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until broken down.
  5. Add kudampuli (1 min, medium heat): Pour kudampuli water and simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Add thin coconut milk (1 min, medium heat): Pour thin coconut milk, bring to gentle simmer.
  7. Finish (2 mins, low heat): Pour thick coconut milk slowly, stirring very gently to avoid breaking fish. Simmer for final 2 minutes. Gravy should be creamy.

📖 Cultural notes

Enoki-style preparation celebrates Kerala's tradition of cooking small whole fish in silken coconut curries, where delicate fish remain intact and absorb flavors throughout cooking. ---
