As you might know, any Kerala dish is incomplete without coconuts. Though this fish curry doesn't really employ the use of coconuts, there is no reason why you cannot serve it in one. Enveloped in aromatic herbs inside a finely cutout coconut, this curry exudes a nice aroma to go with its irresistible taste.
Mathi Mulakittathu should be served piping hot and goes best with steamed rice. Abandon your spoon and fork, and in true Keralite fashion, enjoy this combination with your hands.
