Mackerel curry or Bangdyachi Uddamethi is a delicious Goan curry which has an unique taste because of the use of urad dal & fenugreek seeds used in it.
Ingredients
  • Mackerel: 2-3 big cleaned and cut into small pieces
  • Onion: 2 small
  • Scrapped Coconut: 1 cup
  • Coriander Seeds: ¼ tsp
  • Peppercorns: 4-5
  • Rice: ½ tbsp
  • Fenugreek (Methi) seeds: ¾ tsp
  • Urad Dal: ¾ tsp
  • Tamarind: 1 marble sized ball
  • Turmeric Powder: 1.5 tsp
  • Chilli Powder: 1 tsp
  • Oil: 3 tsp
  • Salt: to taste
Instructions
  1. Apply salt and 1 tsp turmeric powder to mackerel and keep aside.
  2. Heat ½ little oil in a pan. Stir fry the coriander seeds and peppercorns for 1-2 minutes. Keep aside
  3. Add 1 tsp oil in the same pan. Add one chopped onion and stir fry till translucent.
  4. Add the scrapped coconut and fry till golden brown. Keep aside.
  5. Add ½ tsp oil in same pan and stir fry ¼ tsp urad dal, ½ tsp methi seeds and rice till brown. Keep aside.
  6. Grind the tamarind and onion-coconut-coriander seeds-peppercorns mixture to paste. When almost done, add the fried rice, urad dal and methi seeds too. I used around 1 cup of water to grind and make smooth paste.
  7. Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan. Add one finely chopped onion and sauté till translucent.
  8. Add ¼ tsp methi seeds and ½ tsp urad dal and stir fry briefly.
  9. Add ground paste and mackerel.
  10. Add salt, ½ tsp turmeric powder and chilli powder and mix well.
  11. You may need to add an additional of ½ cup of water if curry looks too dry.
  12. Close lid and bring to boil.
Notes
The gravy might dry up, so you can add a little more water if required and heat it before serving.
