method of making

Marinate and fry fish

Wash and clean the fish pieces thoroughly. Mix turmeric, red chilli, garlic paste and a little salt in it and keep it for 15 minutes. Heat mustard oil in a pan till it smokes. Fry the marinated fish on medium-high flame until it becomes golden and crispy on both sides.

Prepare mustard-garlic paste
Add yellow and black mustard, garlic, cumin, black pepper and green chilli in the mixer jar. Make a very fine paste by adding a little water. Keep in mind that the finer the mustard paste is ground, the tastier the gravy will be.

fry masala
Add fenugreek seeds to the remaining oil. When fenugreek starts crackling, add prepared mustard-garlic paste. Fry it on low flame for 3-4 minutes. Now add turmeric, coriander powder, Kashmiri red chilli and a little water and fry the spices until the oil starts separating. It is important to fry the mustard spice properly on low flame so that its bitterness goes away.

Cook Tomatoes and Gravy
Once the spices are roasted, add chopped tomatoes and salt as per taste. Cover the pan and cook until the tomatoes are completely cooked. When the masala starts releasing oil, add 2 cups of hot water as per your choice. Let the gravy boil.

Add fish and serve
When the gravy starts boiling, add the fried fish pieces into it. Cover the pan and let it cook on low flame for 5 to 7 minutes so that the flavor of the spices penetrates inside the fish. Switch off the gas and add fresh chopped coriander on top. Then serve it and enjoy.
