Good Recipe..and for the one who got her dish ruined here is the mistake u made: Either you have used excess of Saunf which gives a sweet taste or you might have used less fish. As stated above in the ingredients,2 fishes should be used and i dont think so 1 tsp of saunf and kalonji can ruin the dish.This is something which seems not to be possible.Good luck
Hey Shahana,i tried this recipe.the result was great.I dont know how people got their dish ruined but truely the taste,flavor,balance of ingredients everything turned to be awesome.
dear frnd,i dont understand how saunf and onion seeds (kalonji) gave a sour/sweet taste.The quantity of both the ingredients is perfect i.e.1tsp. Infact these are added only to add a achari flavour.I have already tried this recipe before posting and it turned to be amazing.
