Guys welcome to a new episode of Fish Tales
And today I'm at this amazing fishery, a clam fishery in the south west of India.
on a small Island called San Sebastian near Kollam.
And I'm making a beautiful Indian clam curry.
So lets start making this awesome curry guys.
I'm going to start by chopping a red onion.
I'm not chopping this really fine.
Cutting the chili.
Also in not small pieces.
Garlic and I chop them again roughly.
Cut the tomato
And ginger.
So guys all the ingredients are here.
I take my pan and now add 5 or 6 tablespoons of coconut oil.
If you cannot find coconut oil, use regular vegetable oil.
So I will put this on my beautiful open fire here.
and I will bring this boil up to heat.
Now I would love to tell more about this beautiful fishery.
The way these fishermen collect the clams is really special.
As soon as the sun is rising the fishermen head out on the lake on the little wooden canoes.
On the bottom they kick the clams with their feet in a net.
All without any special equipment.
This is traditional, this is the most authentic fishery I know.
So when their canoe is full of clams they all return to their homes, where the women
of the family will sort, open and clean every clam, one by one.
When they are done with this process they will bring the clams to one central dock
to load them off in to trucks for the market.
This is a really sustainable way of fishing.
So first up, onion.
Ok guys let it simmer for a while
until you hear this beautiful simmering sound.
I add some chili, the green and red chili.
Add some garlic.
And some curry leaves.
Ok guys you let it fry until it starts colouring which is really important for your curry.
Now it's time for the ginger.
And stir again.
So 1 teaspoon of tumeric powder.
And 1 and half teaspoon of chili powder.
Look at these colours.
2 teaspoons of coriander powder.
Tomatoes and a bit of black pepper.
And now the hero ingredient, the beautiful clams here from this lake.
I take a double handful
So guys I cover this with a lid.
Until all clams are open.
So this beautiful Indian clam curry is now ready.
The colours, the flavours, it smells so good.
And I would love to share this dish with the beautiful family.
