  Here i'm posting Mrs. Mano's Meen kuzhambu, i tried it and came out very well for me. Just follow the measurements and procedure according to the recipe and you will get good result!
  
  MEEN KUZHAMBU:
  Ingredients needed:
  Tamarind- a small orange size.
  Chilli powder-1 ½ tbsp
  Coriander powder-2 tbsp
  Turmeric powder-1sp
  Small onions- 1 or 1 ½ cups[chopped nicely]
  Tomatoes-1 cup[finely chopped]
  Curry leaves-1 spring
  Fenugreek seeds-1sp
  Salt
  Gingelly oil- 3tbsp to 5tbsp
  Fish pieces-10 to 12

  METHOD:
  Pour the oil in a kadai and heat it. Gingelly oil is more suitable for meen kuzhambu than any other oil because of its flavour. Add the chopped onions and fry on a medium fire until they turn to a light brown colour. Add the tomatoes, turmeric powder and curry leaves and fry well until the oil floats on the surface and the tomatoes are mashed well. Powder the fenugreek seeds and add that to the tomatoes and fry for a few minutes. Add the tamarind extract, the dry powders and enough salt. Let the kuzhambu simmer for 10 minutes. After checking its consistency add the fish pieces and allow the kuzhambu simmer for another 10 minutes on medium fire. Before putting off the fire add 1tbsp gingelly oil and mix well.

  contd..
  NB: You can add 2cups of chopped methi leaves and fry with the tomatoes before adding the tamarind extract. If there are more guests you can double the amount of everything. If you add thick coconut milk after adding the fishes, it will increase the quantity of the kuzhambu. For a lemon sized tamarind you can add half of the every ingredient.
  
  Good Luck!

  Ramisha,
  
  Gingelly oil is also known as til oil and it's called nallennai(ellu ennai) in tamil!

  Ramisha,
  
  It's not a trouble at all! U can use normal oil also, but gingelly oil adds extra flavour to the kuzambhu. I don't know about the pomfret fish, but i've tried with catfish and salmon, catfish was more suitable!
  
  Good Luck!
