When we were in Chennai , there was a Andhra Mess near my husband's office .My husband use to praise the Moor kuzhambu and parupu podi of that Andhra mess always,he wanted me to make parupu podi in Andhra style.But I have not tasted in that mess so I tried few versions and nothing got approved by my husband. Finally i tried this version and it was a success , he accepted the taste so I noted this recipe carefully 😊.I make this parupupodi often and store it for one or two weeks only , though parupupodi can be stored for months I feel that freshness and aroma gets reduced after few weeks so I always make fresh batch.

Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have...
