Turmeric: Contributes an earthy taste and golden color, essential for fish curries.
Black Pepper: Enhances the sharpness and depth of the flavor.

How to Use Everest Fish Curry Masala:
Fish Curry Preparation: Add the masala to a base of sautéed onions, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic. Once the mixture is well-cooked, add the fish pieces and let them simmer until tender.
Regional Variations: This masala can be used for different styles of fish curries, whether you’re making a coconut-based curry from Kerala, a mustard-based curry from Bengal, or a tomato-based curry from Goa.
Marination: You can also use this masala to marinate the fish before cooking. Mix it with some lemon juice, turmeric, and salt, and let the fish sit for a while to absorb the flavors.
Tips:
Sautéing: For best results, sauté the masala in oil or ghee before adding it to the curry to release its full flavor.
Cooking Fish: Fish cooks quickly, so add it to the curry in the final stages of cooking to avoid overcooking and ensure it remains tender.
Tangy Twist: Add a bit of tamarind paste, lemon juice, or coconut milk to the curry, depending on the regional style you’re aiming for.
Everest Fish Curry Masala is a convenient way to make flavorful and authentic fish curries at home, offering a well-balanced blend of spices that enhances the natural taste of fish while adding depth and complexity to the dish.
