Once the oil is hot, add the curry leaves and allow them to crackle. Next into the meen chetti, add the sliced shallots and fry until it turns transparent. To this add the freshly ground masala, salt and cook until the raw smell goes away, this will take a good 4-6 minutes. Once the masala is well cooked, add in the sambar masala. Then add the prepared kokum water and required amount of water to adjust the thickness of the Meen VevichathuIncrease the flame and bring the Meen Vevichathu to a rolling boil and then reduce the flame to medium.At this stage, add the marinated seer fish slices along with the marinade and cover and cook. Reduce the flame to medium-low and cook until the fish is done. This will take about 12-15 minutes. Turn off the flame and check if the fish is cooked through, if not cook for a few minutes to ensure it's well done. Serve Meen Vevichathu Recipe along with some hot Steamed Rice, Prawn Ghee Pepper Masala Recipe With Garlic for a simple lip smacking meal over the weekend.
