Background

The combination making up dry fish and brinjal curry is very popular in coastal areas of south India. This is an easy preparation where dry fish is cooked with brinjal and onion mixed with spices. Often people avoid or don’t like to cook dry fish as it is rather pungent. But the end dish is truly worth eating and is very enjoyable.
