I‘ve just started to venture into cooking Indian food.. I LOVE Indian food.. really, I do.. Actually, I love all kinds of spicy or spiced savouries.. 😀

Fish Sothi, which is also known as Meen Sothi is a mildly spiced fish dish. It tasted slightly bland with the first taste, but with the second and thereafter spoonfuls of fish and broth, it got better and better.. I like it; it’s easy to make as long as you’ve all the ingredients and it cooks really quickly.
