Fish Curry ( Aalle-Kaandya Aambat )

This is one kind of fish curry we make and goes best for particular varieties like Paaplet(Pomfret), Baangde (Mackeral), Iswan (Kingfish),Taarle (Sardines) and Belanji ( think its called Silver fish ). This curry is not made very spicy like the Teppla Ammbat.
I like this curry all by itself so much that sometimes, I just replace potatoes and green mango for fish and just keep licking my fingers.This time, I used Paaplet( Pomfret) in the curry.
