We have a slightly different version :-
1 cup Fresh coconut
7-8 Red chilies ( depending on how hot you want teh curry to come out)
Coriander seeds 1 tspn
garlic cloves 7-8
1/2 tspn rice (uncooked)
1/2 tspn sauf (badishep)
Little tamarind
Grind the mixture to a smooth consistency. Rice will hold the mixture together. The paste should be really smooth. If the mixer turns hot, wait and grind again till you feel no coconut when you take the paste between thumb and fore finger.

Keep this paste aside.
In a Bowl, heat oil, Add 1 onion finely chopped. After the onion turns slightly brown ,add the red paste.
Add 1-2 kokumto the gravy and bring to boil. ( You may use raw mangoes if available – they give an exceptional taste)

After a boil, add the fish and simmer till fish is cooked. Serve hot with chopped coriander.

Regards,
Manali

hey Shilpa! I tried this recipe & we loved it. My hubby is great fan of seafood. I’m from udupi, & we have a slight variation to what u posted above:
‘Alle peeyao gashi’ : first marinate the fish in little coconut oil,chopped green chillies,ginger,onions. Prepare the masala by grinding coconut,red chillies & tamarind to paste.
Bring it to a boil, then add the marinade (keeping the pieces aside), lastly add in the pieces.
when done, add few drops of hing water.
Hope u try this sometime.

Dear Shilpa,

My wife and I have been using your site to access some traditional North Kanara recipes. We recently tried out the Alle Kande Ambat and it turned out to be absolutely perfect. Just like the one I remember from my Athya’s who in my opiion are Oscar winners vis a vis NK recipes! I wonder whether you know the recipe for a dish called Kayros which my mother used to make. As far as I recall it had bhendi and capsicum as its essentials in a greenish randoi. Looking forward to your research and response.

Shilpa: Will post soon.
