Black Pomfret Panna upkari...Konkani style

This is spicy  Manglorean konkani style pompret curry with out coconut.Usually we konkani's use coconut as a base of our fish curry but this is sort of sour and spicy curry.I just love this Panna upkari..some make it with red chilly powder but i make chilly paste which tastes simply superb especially with red boiled rice.
