Andhra Fish Curry | Fish Iguru | Chepala Iguru

This Fish Curry tastes so delicious. This is my mom’s recipe and I used to have this curry a lot of times when I was kid.

This curry is a different variety which is rich, mildly spiced gravy with handpicked spices added in prefect proportions to recreate truly authentic Fish Curry. When Fresh or live fish is not available we can use Fillets. I usually use fillets for making this curry as we need to drive many miles to get fresh fish.

Fish Iguru tastes totally different from Fish Curry.
