Nadan Mathy Mango Curry – Alappuzha Style

This is typical Central Kerala style fish curry in which mangoes are used instead of ‘kudampuli(gamboges)’. Sardines belong to the oily fish category. They are rich in Omega-3 fatty acid, which lowers the bad cholesterol level in the blood. So, eating sardines are good for the heart. This curry is very tasty and commonly served with rice.
