Mackerel curry or Bangdyachi Uddamethi is a delicious Goan curry which has an unique taste because of the use of urad dal & fenugreek seeds used in it.
Ingredients
Mackerel: 4 big cleaned and cut into small pieces
Onion: 2 small
Scrapped Coconut: 1 cup
Coriander Seeds: ¼ tsp
Peppercorns: 4-5
Rice: ½ tbsp
Fenugreek (Methi) seeds: ¾ tsp
Urad Dal: ¾ tsp
Tamarind: 1 marble sized ball
Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp
Chilli Powder: 1 tsp

Instructions
Apply salt and ½ tsp turmeric powder to mackerel and keep aside.
Heat a little oil in a pan. Stir fry the coriander seeds and peppercorns for 1-2 minutes. Keep aside
Add one chopped onion in same pan and stir fry till translucent.
Add the scrapped coconut and fry till golden brown. Keep aside.
Add a little oil in same pan and stir fry ¼ tsp urad dal, ½ tsp methi seeds and rice till brown. Keep aside.
Grind the tamarind and onion-coconut-coriander seeds-peppercorns mixture to paste. When almost done, add the fried rice, urad dal and methi seeds too. I used around 1 cup of water to grind and make smooth paste.
Heat a little oil in a pan. Add one finely chopped onion and sauté till translucent.
Add ¼ tsp methi seeds and ½ tsp urad dal and stir fry briefly.
Add ground paste and mackerel.
Add salt, ½ tsp turmeric powder and chilli powder and mix well.
Close lid and bring to boil. You may need to add an additional of ½ cup of water if curry looks too dry.
