  6. Yep! I learn similar from my Indian friend too. I use canned sardines (not in tomato sauce though). So I have to use fresh tomatoes to cook up a light curry from scratch. In fact, I just cooked it today again. I know it is DELICIOUS.

  20. Wow, this is nice for a change from the usual canned sardine...I'll try this when my in-lawas are not around! (They have the very traditional Hokkien taste buds--couldn't stand the "indian" smell) Maybe I could even convert my hubby into liking sardines, coz he loves curries!

  21. I never had sardines - only anchovies! But my Grandpa sure loves them - used to eat them right out of the tin. I bet he would love this!

  22. This dish remind me of home. I didn't have this in a long long time. My mom used to cook this for us and she used the same brand of sardin. I don't think we can find it here. The best we can get here is the Lido brand.

  36. This brings back memories of my childhood about 30 odd yrs ago...it used to be sardine curry in my house at month end before salary day but it's a delicious dish with rice and rasam(pepper soup).Yummy! Yes I agree-potatoes makes this dish even more special.

  40. I have never tried sardines before.I made this curry tonight.

    I could not find sardines in tomato sauce so I used the ones I got here in hot sauce. Also instead of soy sauce I added tamarind sauce because I am Indian and that's what my South Indian boy friend prefers in his fish curry and before adding to the pan I pureed the tomato, onion, ginger and garlic. I also added madras curry in stead of fish curry powder because I did not have any on hand.

    In spite of all the above differences it smells and tastes so good! Thanks for this recipe. Would love to send you a pic of my sardine fish curry.

  41. Surgery, including Mohs surgery, in which a total
    eclipse is visible is at most 167 miles wide.
    As you can see better. 5mm headphone jack and flimsy power button on its head.
    One to try: AstroglideSilicone-based lubricants cost a bit
    more precision is required.
