No wonder if someone starves for a karuvadu curry who lives in the places where they don’t sell it, even I did when I came here :) but somehow I would say unfortunate, I gotta cook this as I bought this when me and BF visited to Texas sometime, there after I got a chance to get dry anchovies in many Vietnam and Chinese stores. When iam writing this, my memories are with my Ammuma(Grandma) who makes this and serve for me whenever I visit her place with Kappa. Iam sure to say no other dishes can beat with that taste. There are many recipes with dry fish which I will be posting it whenever I get update from my Ammuma :).. I really miss her and wish I could meet her for this Onam and iam proud to say that this is from her cookbook.

Tips:

"You can add the chili powder while adding onion and tomato to give extra spice.
You can try the same method with other type of dry fishes as well."
