Ingredients:

500 gm
fish fillet of your choice, cut into pieces
(marinate the fish for at least 2 hours in a paste made from half tsp each of salt and red chilli powder, quarter tsp garlic paste and juice of 1 lemon)
2
onions, chopped fine
4
tomatoes, chopped
3 tbsp
yoghurt, whipped
3
green chillies, chopped
1 tsp
garlic paste
1 tsp
ginger paste
salt to taste
1 tbsp
roasted whole coriander seeds, then crushed roughly
1 tsp
roasted whole cumin seeds, crushed
2 tsp
red chilli powder, adjust to taste
juice of half a lemon
some chopped coriander leaves
1/2 tsp
garam masala
oil as needed

Instructions:

Heat some oil and fry the fish pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side in batches, just to seal them up. Remove and set aside.

In a separate pan, add quarter cup of oil, fry the onions until almost golden, then add the ginger and garlic pastes and the crushed cumin and coriander. Fry for a few seconds then add the chopped tomatoes and cook on medium heat until the tomatoes are cooked and thick and the oil gets released from the sides. Add the whipped yoghurt and red chilli powder. Cook for a couple of minutes until the yoghurt is well-blended with the tomatoes, and then add the fish pieces and the green chills. Stir once, add the salt, lower the heat to very low, cover the pan tightly and let the fish cook for about 10 minutes.

Open the pan, mix the fish gently to avoid breaking the pieces, then sprinkle the coriander leaves, garam masala and squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Simmer for a few seconds, then turn off the heat and serve hot
