Deep Fried Sea Bass In Curry Sauce

 

Blogging is all about recepi testing and all the dilemma that comes with it. During one of those kind of recepi testing , an idea to create a new kind of gravy for a typical fried fish hit my tiny mind. Instead the usual Chinese style sauce that we alwaya come across in restaurants and home, i want to come up with my own twist and ended up with this lip smacking curry sauce.

Sounds like no once can ever knock out curry out of an Indian 😂.  Being ver much with varities of curry, this recepi comes along really well and younger Dandelion drooled over it.  The elder Dandelion are not into spicy stuff nevertheless, she enjoyed the out of ordinary dish. The kick of the curry sauce poured over the deep fried fish was highly recommended to try and owe your loved ones.
