A sprig of curry leaves are added while cooking almost all veggie and seafood dishes. It&#8217;s also added while making the tempering in oil along with mustard seeds and dried red chilies, as it gets fried in the oil the aroma that comes out of it is just amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Curry leaves are abundantly grown in South India, due to the tropical weather and are found in the backyard of most houses. Fresh curry leaves are picked from the plant and used right away for cooking. Not to forget, curry leaves have amazing health benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, while making fish curry I made a paste of curry leaves along with coconut and other ingredients and cooked the fish in curry leaves gravy. It was quite different from the usual fish curries and tasted good. I enjoyed it with rice, fish fry, and jackfruit seeds thoran.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21740\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry2.jpg\" alt=\"curry leaf-fish curry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry2.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry2-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking small onions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21743\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry1.jpg\" alt=\"making curry leaf fish-curry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>After adding the pureed curry leaves and coconut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21739\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry1.jpg\" alt=\"curry leaf fish-curry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/curry-leaf-fish-curry1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking fish in the curry leaves-coconut gravy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21742\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry.jpg\" alt=\"making curry leaf fish curry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/making-curry-leaf-fish-curry-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/fish-in-curry-leaf-gravy.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Curry Leaf Fish Curry<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Curry<\/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=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To make curry leaves paste[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chilies- 2, chopped<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Grated coconut &#8211;
