I’m in the kitchen today with Rachel Gurjar cooking up a delicious South Indian recipe. In today’s news video, Rachel came over and showed me how to make her delicious Coconut Cod Curry recipe. It is packed with many layers of flavor from the unique cooking methods used in Indian Cuisine. What gives this curry its creamy gravy is shredded coconut blended together with loads of spices, dried chilies, and tamarind concentrate.
Not only did I enjoy trying an Indian fish recipe, but I had so much fun cooking on my channel with Rachel! She’s an incredibly talented recipe developer, photographer, and an all around fun person! You should definitely watch our video, below, and then follow her on Instagram!
