Pathiya Samayal #13 | Salmon Fish Poriyal | Salmon Fish Thoran

Salmon fish is rich in protein and omega fatty acids.. It is good for women who breast feed their babies.. It is a good food that you can have more and more after delviering baby.. But the most pity thing is I don;t like the falvor of the fish.. Specially if some gravy is made with salmon, I find it tought to eat.. The smell of the fish stays in my gut for a long time.. It was mys last trial to make something better with the Salmon.. At that time, my mom suggested me to make this Thoran.. I tried it with no hope.. But it worked out.. It was very tasty and went well with hot rice.. And nowadays, I am buying salmon fish just to make this thoran..

For those who have the same experience as me, I would suggest this recipe.. It is also a good post pregnancy recipe, if the coconut is well roasted.. It is rich in protein and hench you can include it in your weight loss lunch menu.. It is always better to have it for lunch than dinner..
