Chopping, chopping, chopping! We can still hear the joyful cackle that follows this refrain as we’ve stood with Sheril at the Thekkady Barbeque Cooking School preparing this dish.

Pomfret is the most common fish in a Keralan Fish Fry. Pomfret flesh is white and delicate in both texture and flavour, making it an ideal complement to a tasty masala.
