UridMethi of fish in konkani (Fish Curry)

 Urid Methi is the next version of Umana. The feature added to this curry is the flavor of  urad (Split black gram) and methi (Fenugreek)  so called as Uridmethi.The same fishes used for umana should be used for urid methi. But this version goes really really well with mackerels (Bangda).  Iam using Mackerels.
