Notes
U can use any type of salt fish according to ur wish .I have used Nethili donno wat they call in English.
Usually Salt fish curry is made with Mochai a kind of bean….since it is not available in Taiwan I have tried this recipe with Rajma.

We call Nethali as Sprat fish…… Why that…….. Amma makes nethali with potato or brinjal or Kondakadalai (The one they make sundal)… It looks good!!!!!!!!
Thanx for the info Manoo
