koumacha jholo

Pearlspot fish curry with plain rice.

***********************************


Kou macha is a favourite traditional Berhampur non-vegetarian side dish. 

We always buy live Kou fish to cook.

     In some Kou fish head, stones are found and saying that this particular fish is more tastier than the regular kou fish.  Fish fry is enough for Pakhal bhat. Fish jholo goes well with plain rice.

Kou fish has good flavour and taste that titillating your taste buds.

 Kou fry or curry is very popular among all Odias. 


  Oftently cook simple kou fish curry because of it's brilliant taste no need to add more spices. But this time I need to thicken the gravy. And yes gravy soaked the fish flavour and gives wonderful taste.

Kou fish bones are very hard and one have to be extremely careful while eating them.
