• Clean the mackerel well and make 4 slits gently on both sides (if it is a big sized mackerel).
• Marinate it with a pinch turmeric powder and salt. Shallow fry both sides for 3 minutes only on a medium flame.(do not use more oil for shallow frying and do not marinate the fish with more spice. Fry only 3 minutes). Set aside.

• Add 1 cup of hot water and cook until a thick gravy (for 5 minutes).
• When it boils the oil floats on the top, add fenugreek powder to it and mix very well and then put the half fried fish and again cook for another 5 minutes in a low flame.
• Rotate the vessel occasionally instead of stirring the gravy. 
• In another pan heat 2 tsp of oil. Add sliced small onion and curry leaves and fry till golden. When done pour this on the top of the fish curry.
