A delicious spicy authentic Indian fresh fish curry was always my favorite meal that I simply loved when my mum use to cook for my dad and myself. I remember sitting with them when I was a little girl and enjoying every bite of it. Every dish that my mum prepared for us at home was done with pure love and passion.
