  2. Chop the shallots and green chilies in round shape. Prepare Rasam. [Note: Instead of adding tamarind juice extract here we are adding Rasam. To get better taste add Rasam only!.

  3. In a pan add gingerly oil. Once oil get heated add chopped shallots and chopped green chilies. Saute till onion becomes transparent. [Note: Use Gingerly oil to get better flavor and aroma].

  4. Now add cleaned dry fish and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes in low flame. Add 1 ½ tsp of Kuzhambu Masala Powder mix well and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. [Note: If you don’t have homemade masala powder then you can use 1 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tbsp of red chilli powder, 2 tbsp of coriander powder, ¼ the tsp of cumin powder, ¼ tsp of pepper powder.].

  6. Check for salt and add if necessary. Tip: For any dry fish gravy always check for salt then add, as dry fish will leave salt. Also in this recipe we have added Rasam which is salted already..

  7. After 5 minutes, stir it gently and check if dry fish is cooked or not. Mostly around 5 to 10 minutes dry fish will get cooked and oil will get separated. Tip: If dry fish is overcooked it will get dissolved in the gravy and you can’t find pieces L. So make sure you check if it is cooked or not for every 2 to 3 minutes..

  8. Dry fish kootu is ready !! You can have it along with white rice or Tholi paruppu sadam..
