Here’s how to make a tasty fish recipe to serve a delicious main course.
Ingredients
For making the masala
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 green chili ( slits in the middle )
- 2 onion paste
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 3 tomato puree
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
- ½ cup coconut milk ( optional )
- coriander leaves to garnish
For marinating the fish
- 500 gms boneless fish ( any variety you prefer )
- 2 teaspoon yogurt
- 2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- salt to taste
- oil for frying the fish
Method
- Marinate the fish by mixing the pieces with ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt and yogurt. Keep the marinated fish in the refrigerator for 25 minutes.
- Take a pan, add oil and fry the fish until lightly brown.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and add the green chilli. Add the onion paste to saute until golden.
- Next, mix the garlic ginger paste and cook until the raw smell of the garlic paste disappears.
- Then add tomato puree, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and cook over low heat. Cook until oil begins to leave the side of the pan.
- Finally, add the fried fish pieces and stir until the masala is coated with the fish.
- You can add coconut milk to adjust the consistency of the masala. Don't add water if you want a thicker version. Just cook until the coconut milk is absorbed by the fish. Add a little water and cook until it boils and remove from heat.
- Finally, add coriander leaves to decorate the fish masala.
Tip: Be extremely gentle and careful when mixing the fish with masala as it is very easy to break the pieces if handled roughly.
