Pomfret in Green Masala




The fiesta continues. Here is another Pomfret curry. I love green colored gravies. Be it chicken Cafreal or chicken in green masala or coriander chutney . Green gravies often are made with lots of coriander leaves and green chilies. I love both these ingredients. The freshness of coriander leaves with the pungent green chili just elevates my mood. 


This recipe takes me back to the days I was preparing for my campus interview. I used to go to my friend’s house for group study . Her mom being a wonderful cook used to prepare a different dish every day for us. On one such day she prepared Pomfret in green masala and what happened after eating was inevitable.” I fell in love with it “. 


You can use the same recipe for paneer and chicken as well.
