Savour the bold, tangy flavours of traditional Kerala Fish Curry at Kerala Palace Restaurant in NE Calgary. Our signature Fish Curry is prepared in an authentic clay pot (manchatti) with fresh fish simmered in a rich, tangy sauce made with coconut milk, raw mango (or Kudampuli — Kerala's famous Gamboge / fish tamarind), ground coconut paste, and freshly roasted Kerala spices. It is the taste of Kerala's coastal kitchens, served fresh in Calgary.

Traditional Recipe

Kerala Fish Curry — known as 'Meen Curry' in Malayalam — is the soul of Kerala's coastal cooking. What distinguishes it from other regional fish curries is the use of Kudampuli (Garcinia cambogia, also known as Gamboge or fish tamarind), which gives it a unique sour-fruity tanginess unlike any other souring agent. At Kerala Palace Restaurant, we prepare our Fish Curry with this traditional souring element, along with freshly ground coconut, roasted spices, and plenty of curry leaves.

Our Fish Curry is slow-cooked in a traditional clay manchatti pot, which regulates heat evenly and enhances the earthy flavour of the curry. Served alongside Kerala rice (or Kappa — tapioca), this dish is the definitive Kerala meal experience. It is a favourite among our regular customers and among the Malayali community in Calgary who seek the true taste of home.
