Earlier before marriage, I used to hate veg dishes made using tepall (aka sichuan pepper). But ,when I ate dhoddaka, I started loving it. Dhoddak is basically a dry curry tradionally made in earthern pots and baked on woord fire. You can make dhoddak using  isvon (queen fish), tarle (Sardinella aurita ). I have prepared using tarle since I could not find bangde. But the recipe is the same for all

Ingredients:
Fish-5
Shredded coconut-1/2 cup
Red chili-10-12
Tamarind piece or exract-1tsp 5cm piece

Kokum fruit dry skin-4 (Optional) (आम - सोल )

Turmeric powder-1tsp

Turmeric leaves-3 (Optional)

Method:
 Be ready with cleaned and cut fish pieces.

Grind shredded coconut,red chili,turmeric powder, tamarind using l/4 cup of water.

When you are done with grinding , add sichuan pepper and kokum dry skin and grind once again.

Then add fish and turmeric leaves and remaining water.
