I had Ambulthiyal at an almsgiving and let me tell you something, I simply relished every single morsel of the blackened fish I was served.

Southern Thai gaeng som (แกงส้ม) is a sour curry or sour, teeming with chilies, lime juice (or sour tamarind), and distinctively orange in color from turmeric.

The flavor, if made correctly, should be pungently strong, burn your throat with every bite, and it should be sour enough to make your cheeks tingle.

The amshi thikshi curry is best suited for whitecheek shark (also known as thaato in Konkani or Thaatey in Tulu, mooshi in Marathi and moosi in Gujarati) as this fish has a pretty strong flavour on its own and this gravy base counteracts it the best.

Sear on hot pan with a little mustard oil and keep aside.
