I took a solo trip to Pondicherry in January and booked a Creole cooking class followed by dining at home chef Pushpa’s residence. The talented home chef had learnt the Creole cooking from her mother in law. This fish Assad curry was a part of the dinner menu and I also helped in chopping the spices and frying the fish and cooking the curry under chef’s guidance. Poppy seeds paste and home made coconut milk imparted a nutty flavor and creamy texture to this unique fish curry. Tasted divine with rice.
