• Pondicherry Fish Curry (Meen Kuzhambu / Fish Assad Curry): This is a quintessential dish. It's a flavorful fish curry that perfectly blends Tamil and French cooking styles. Often made with freshly caught seafood, coconut milk, aromatic spices, and a tangy twist from ingredients like raw mango or tamarind. The "Assad" version is a coconut-milk-laden curry, flavored with anise and curry leaves, often finished with a squeeze of lime.
