The lovely aroma of freshly chopped garlic and curry leaves frying is unexplainable. It gives a delicious flavor to everything that you add to! Have to say that the key ingredients for non-vegetarian cooking is garlic and ginger. Personally I feel finely chopped garlic and ginger gives a lovely aroma and it enhances the taste of curry compared to the paste. In this recipe, I had used lots of garlic and ginger which is very good for digestion and is healthy. I had used seer fish for this masala but it can be substituted with any kind of fish. This is one of my favorite recipes and I love this with rasam rice anytime. Every bite of the fish, with the fried garlic and ginger pieces along with the aroma of fresh curry leaves is just divine. Garnishing, is optional but trust me, it actually enhances the flavor of masala.
