ABOUT CHEPALA PULUSU

Chepala/Fish Pulusu is one of the most flavorful and tastiest South Indian seafood dishes of Andhra and Telangana Cuisine particularly from the region of Nellore. The word Chepala means fish and Pulusu means tamarind gravy. So Chepala Pulusu is nothing but fresh fish simmered in a spicy and tangy tamarind sauce.

This Andhra fish curry is prepared with a generous amount of spices that make the curry glowing red and of course spicy. Especially the masala paste made with roasted peppercorn, mustard, fenugreek, cumin, and poppy seeds gives a unique flavor and taste to this dish. And the sesame oil used in this recipe gives a traditional earthy and rustic flavor to the curry.

This fish pulusu recipe is one of the traditional dishes and it's popular in most households and restaurants of the states. In fact, you could also find this fish pulusu as a signature dish in most Andhra restaurants in foreign countries. This Andhra fish curry can be the ultimate feast for seafood lovers and it literally leaves any fish lovers licking their fingers and ask for more.

VARIATIONS IN CHEPALA PULUSU RECIPE

This Chepala/Fish Pulusu is one of the most appetizing dishes to enjoy and it has a lot of variations too. The recipe for fish pulusu varies according to the place, local produce, and tradition of the people( Andhra and Telangana). You could find so many variations in the recipe within the states themselves. Each variety is unique in its taste and flavor. And makes a delightful seafood meal that one could enjoy over and over again.

For example, Chintha Chiguru Chepala Pulusu is one such variation where people use tender tamarind leaves instead of tamarind water to make this fish pulusu. And it delivers a unique tangy flavor and taste to the dish.

Even though I have used poppy seeds as one of the ingredients while roasting the paste, you could add coconut to achieve similar results. There are also variations where you can add raw mango pieces to given an extra punch to this Chepala pulusu curry.
