                            I have already added how to make karimeen fry in my blog ....we will go to the next process of making karimeen pollichadu ....for that we must make the masala first ......so take a deep pan heat oil 2-3tbsp. to it add onions,shallots,garlic, ginger ,curry leaves,and green chilli and saute it for 2-3mins. (dont let the onions get brown need to be a glassy appearance)  when done add the masala powders at low flame mix it well for 1min..... then to it add tomatoes and close it for 2-3mins......... let the tomatoes get soft enough to smash .....open the lid and smash the tomatoes no need to add water....at medium flame saute them till you find the oil is seperating from the masala  ...remove from the flame ......now take the banana leaf and heat directly on the low flame for 1sec only to get the leaf soften and take one fried fish and place it on the leaf and spread the masala on both sides of the fish... close it well and do the same process with the remaining fish (if banana leaf is not available you can use foil)...take a pan and heat remaining oil and place the wrapped fish on medium flame ...if you find the leaf getting its colour changed turn over and cook till that side colour changes (if foil is used do this in your oven or your cooking range oven)......done Karimeen pollichadu ready ...
