Hi Shireen.
How to prepare this curry using Mangalorean bafat powder or fish curry powder?
Hi Fern K,
You can replace the spices (red chillies, cumin, peppercorn, coriander & turmeric powder) given in the recipe with about 2-3 teaspoons of bafat powder and increase the quantity after tasting. I have never used fish curry powder as a substitute so I’m not sure..
