Tips & Notes :
1. If u want to add more taste to the gravy, u can add raw mango slices while you are adding the fish slices.
2. This is a very tasty fish gravy, the speciality of this gravy is that, it gains more taste the next day of cooking which goes very well with idly and dosa and even with rice.
3. If a mud pot is used for the cooking of this gravy, then the gravy would taste great. But the mud pot should be seasoned very well, if u r a basic cook and if u dont know anything about seasoning or cooking in a mud pot then dont try it, it'll spoil the gravy.
