Puli Munchi has a traditional flavor

      Pulimunchi means fish curry out of chilli without using coconut.  People love the food because it has traditional flavor which has stole the hearts of present generation.
      Puli Munchi preparation has a lot to with tarmarind, dry roasted chilly and seeds such as coriander, fennel, mustard, cumin, and methi all make miracle of the flavor. But does it differ from hand to hand. It may not be if it is followed exactly but people have the tendency to add other ingredients which at times spoil the taste of puli munchi.

The preparation is something special compare to all other preparation because the ingredients and kind of fish they use to bring out flavor.  Pulimunchi preparation is like by even the other ethnic groups because they say that it has a some traditional and original taste of what we ate when we were small. That special taste we do not find in other places. The flavor is simply nice only when the fish, 'Macril' is used in the curry.

     People from other parts of the world come here to taste this special preparation which is found only in Mangalore. The preparation loses its actual flavor when non-Tulu speaking prepares because of the ignorance. Therefore this preparation is specialized by mostly the Tuluvas who acquired from their ancestors. 

    As a non-Tuluvas I cherish the taste whenever I get chance to explore fish preparation. This something unique in Tulunadu which more popularized specially in Mangalore where hundreds of people flock everyday to grab this special flavor.
