Fish Fry Recipe Courtesy of Kovil House (Fort Cochin, India)



Fish Fry Recipe Courtesy of Kovil House (Fort Cochin, India)
After a long winter of lots of carbohydrates, once more I am feeling inspired to continue my tasty trail. My inspiration comes from the lovely Usha at Kovil Home Stay in Fort Cochin (Southern India) who welcomed us into her house for an authentic cookery lesson of ‘fish fry’ and ‘sambar’; a traditional Southern Indian lentil dish.
After months of porridge, bangers and mash and numerous other potato forms to warn away the cold, India was a welcome relief and the offer of a cookery lesson at Kovil Home Stay was an offer we simply couldn’t refuse.
