  • Heat oil in a pan
  • Add mustard seeds and when they start spluttering, add fenugreek seeds followed by the curry leaves, ginger and garlic
  • Add onions and fry until translucent and light brown
  • Add tomatoes and fry until they break down
  • Add the masala paste and fry until oil separates.
  • Add tamarind extract (adjust as required) with 1 cup of water
  • When water starts boiling, add the fish pieces and salt

  • Cook on a low heat until fish is cooked. Increase the heat and cook till the gravy thickens and the oil is visible
  • Garnish with corriander leaves
