If you dont like to add raw fish directly to pulusu,apply little bit salt and chilli powder to fish pieces ,fry them on a pan or microwave it for 5 min each side.

Or you can fry them in seasoning but this may result in breaking the pieces (depends on the kind of fish used)

Note:See that sour and salt tastes little bit more in pulusu before adding fish pieces (because once you add fish pieces the tastes will come down)

Same recipe can be used by adding boiled eggs also.

Vegetarians need not be worried.They can use same recipe substituting fish by paneer(home made)or by Bhendi.

If u use bhendi ,saute them in seasoning itself with one more tomoto .
