Normally they will just fry it in oil,
and have it as a side dish with rice.
Mostly it is consumed by the Malays and Chinese.
O.K Karthika, I have got the recipe from my aunt for
neeimeen karuvadu masala.
Neeimeen fish pickle,
Neeimeen or fresh fish masala
Also the village style karuvatu curry.
As for the kara kulambu, we all make simple kara kulambu.
I am a frequent traveller to "Annai's Illam" in Pondycherry.
I asked my friends there and they said normally, the catering people make their kara kulambu with groundnuts added.
Did you taste it with groundnuts?
Please let me know. I will get the recipe from them.
I will post all the recipes one by one.
I have very little stock of mock fish.
So I do not know if I will be able to post the pictures.
Please reply me, for me to post.
Thanks, Kugan98

Vanjanai Karuvadu Masala (kugan)
[tscii]I made this fish masala using MOCK fish.
You can make it with dried fish, or
even fried fresh fish.
VANJANAI KARUVADU MASALA
3 slices of vanjanai meen karuvadu
1 tsp chillie powder
Little lime juice
2 red juicy tomato chopped
2 red onions chopped
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp chillie powder
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tbs oil
Salt to taste
Method:
Clean the dry fish gently.
It will break easily.
Apply the red chillie powder, and the lime juice.
Marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat a non stick pan with the oil.
Add in the onions, and sauté well.
Add in the curry leaves, ginger garlic paste.
Also add in the chopped tomatoes.
Cook till the tomatoes turn mushy.
Add in the chillie powder.
Add in the salt and mix well. (remember the dry fish has salt)
Now add in the marinated fish slices.
Fry gently. Let it cook on low flame till the dry fish is cooked.
You can sprinkle little water if needed.
Fry well till they form the masala texture.
Remove from the stove and serve as a side dish.
