But, I do have a soft corner towards Kerala cuisine as I grew up eating Kerala food. On Friday, I wanted something really authentic and so I made this Meen Peera. This dish is usually made with Anchovies or Netholi, but I used squid and mussels. A very easy dish to make, fish is combined with grated coconut and simple spices, cooked till the gravy gets thick. An authentic Kerala dish that can be served with rice, orotti, appam, puttu etc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15064\" alt=\"squid and mussel-peera\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/squid-and-mussel-peera.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/squid-and-mussel-peera.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/squid-and-mussel-peera-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/squid-and-mussel-peera-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Preparation Pictures<\/p>\n<p><strong>Before cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15067\" alt=\"making-meen-peera\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>While cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15068\" alt=\"making meen peera\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera1.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-meen-peera1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/meen-peera.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Meen Peera &#8211; Squid and Mussel Peera &#8211; Fish in Coconut, Kerala Recipe<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To Grind[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut, grated- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]While cooking[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Squid, chopped- 7 small squids<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mussel- 15, large<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic, chopped- 3, cloves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger, chopped- 1 inch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 2 sprig<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chilies, chopped- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tamarind- 2 inch slice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut Oil- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a blender, coarsely grind the coconut and turmeric powder along with very little water.
