The only non veg that is life saving for us now a days is tuna fish.They are available freshly nearby roadside fish shops so it has been a great help for me to cook and fulfill our apitete for non veg. The fish has a texture like meat.At shops they cut big sized tuna fishes into large pieces and also remove their skin. As the fishes are big we can get nice chunks of fish meat and there is atmost no bones in them.Thats why they are so easy to clean for me.
I have been making these curry quite often these days and we love it. Try it out and tell me how it turn out.
