After a
few months I am again coming to my kitchen with a different recipe. This one is
a very old one which I used to make and serve in dinner parties. That is Fish
pakoda. It is suitable as a starter or a delicious accompaniment for Pulav
varieties. Usually I make this with Vral meen. Koduva also suits very well. But
I personally think that Kingfish is little bit smelly. Now we can go in to the
recipe!
