Fish egg Thoran (മീൻ പരിഞ്ഞിൽ തോരൻ )

Fish egg thoran- Known as Parinjil thoran in Kerala, this is a delicacy to fish lovers. For me I always look for fish roe when buying or preparing fish, and it has removed and prepared separately in different ways and thats a treat worth to me. I remember my childhood , which a time that plenty of variety of fish available in market, and many of them are now not exists I think. As it was not so expensive like today, market at my home town Kadampanadu has plenty of options. Functioning only on Tuesday and Fridays-even now Kadampanad Govindapuram market was one of the sought after destination for every household people to grab fresh fish, vegetables etc and sell their own agricultural goods.
Many of the time my dad himself find time to goes to market along with the produce which need to sell and buy big fishes, vegetables etc and come. Mom took pleasure to prepare different style dishes with the same fish, like the head part cut and cooked with coconut gravy which serve on same day lunch, some portion used to make red fish curry which will stay for dinner and next day, also not forget, the fish roe and liver cooked with grated coconut and spices as thoran, which doesn't need further explanation. As time changes, fresh fish is scarce as everything is manipulated with preservatives and chemicals, many of the varieties were vanished away, even today I crave for this wonderful dish which made up with fresh fish roe. For me, that's heavenly.
