 Andhra Fish Masala / Andhra FIsh Curry / Nellore Chepala Pulusu, A traditional recipe with real authentic taste.  Andhra Fish curry is really a spicy one. An Extraordinary flavour with tangy curry, the special dry masala uplifts the curry. 

I followed the traditional method to cover this recipe. I used mackerel fish for this curry. Traditional recipe follows Gingelly oil, Pearl onion, Generous amount of curry leaves which are the main flavour deciding ingredients, and the powdered spices should in proper ratio, then the special dry roasted masala is the key for twist for the gravy.
