Karuvadu Kuzhambu / Spicy Dryfish Gravy

This recipe I saw in one of the tv show long time back and have written in a piece of paper. When i was cleaning the house, in a drawer, found this, and gave a try. It was really spicy and tangy to have it on a rainy day.

I used Vaalai meen/ ribbon Fish for this gravy.
