HI,
Thank you for this super recipe..I tried this recipe and it turned out awesome…i added macaroni at last..it was very nice..but it became very dry..what can be done?

The Pan looks good than the dish 🙂
I wanted to thank you for posting so many wonderful recipes, this one in particular simply made my day. I am living on my own in Seattle, WA and I’ve been trying to cook Indian food to sort of give me that taste of home. This dish reminds me of something similar that my mother used to make for me! Thank you so much for posting this on your site.

Hi Fauzia,
This one is a staple in our home 🙂
Please post some more fish recipes. There are so few on the site. Would love the Amritsari fried fish, Bengali fish curry….recipes
Thanks.
We have some Bengali fish recipes coming up soon…stay tuned!
I made this today. It was awesome. I made a sandwich out of it and it was very good. I am going to serve it with rice today. Let’s see what everyone says.
Thanks for the awesome tuna recipe, and for your website. Indian food used to always be very daunting to me, but now I feel I know what to do. I’m American and my husband is Indian, and you have really helped me make food that he enjoys.
Thank you so much!
Hi Claire,
You just made our day! When we started SMTC, one of our biggest goals was to introduce Indian cuisine to non-Indians – basically make is so simple that anyone with or without prior experience can take on the challenge. You have just showed us that we are succeeding! Thanks a bunch for writing :).
Hi,
Would it possible to freeze fish curry. Need not be this recipe. But other kinds of fish. kerala fish curry
Thanks
Simi
Here is our response from the previous time you asked the question, reposting it incase you did not get it:
Hi Simi,
Most Chicken Curry dishes freeze well. Always make sure you freeze in an airtight container to avoid freezer burns. When defrosting, defrost well before heating so the chicken pieces do not break up.
As for Fish Curries, fish is a very delicate. You can freeze but you have to be very careful while re-heating.

Hi Nina,
We appreciate your feedback. This is one of our older videos. We have since invested in better equipment. Hopefully, you’ll get a chance to see some of our newer videos.
Thanks for this great recipe! I made it along with one of your rice dishes… we live on the Oregon coast so I used tuna that a friend had canned from fresh-caught last summer. It was perfect, nice to use high-quality tuna for such a tasty dish! I love your site, it’s my only hope for Indian food.:)
amazing ladies! just wanted to say ” thanks for sharing great recipes”

Wow!! I made this and it was amazing.
Can I use canned salmon to make this? If possible, can you please respond quickly, as I am planning to make it for a party this weekend.
I have tried the other recipies from your website and all were amazing. I loved the banana bread.
Thanks, Christina!
About the canned Salmon, we have never tried it but don’t see any reason why it won’t work. You may have to adjust the spices a little but other than that, we think it’ll be great.
hi hetal & Anuja:
I tried your tuna recipes, it was yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. keep posting such interesting recipes.
Thanks!
Hi,
How can I make this recipe with fresh raw tuna? Would I need to add water in this recipe or maybe bake tuna first and then add it to the recipe? I normally avoid canned or packaged food and like to use fresh ingredients.
Thanks!
We suggest you sear the Tuna with a little oil (cooked but make sure it does not dry out) and then flake it and use it.
Can I ask you the brand for the tandoori masala? I only find the tandoori masala paste in the grocery store which has a very strong flavor.
Raja brand makes a pretty good Tandoori Masala.
you both are food goddesses, with lots of love.hats off to you
cheers!!
Nice name for us, thank you!
