SaltPREPARATION
- You can use store bought fish fillet for this curry.
- Or else you can make fish fillet at home. For that, you must sharpen your knife's blade. Then lay the filleting fish (clean and pat dry) on a cutting board. Here i fillet the fish from the tail. So place the knife down where the tail meets the body. Cut straight down gently until the knife hits the back bone. Now run the knife along the rib cage, separating the meat of the fish from ribs. Turn the fish over and repeat the same. Remove the pin bones with care as some fish meat is so delicate. Remove the belly portion of fish. And then skin the fish which is optional (i prefer to eat the skin). You can also start filleting the fish from the head, but it is too messy. So i prefer filleting from the tail. Make small pieces with this fillet and set aside.
- Heat a pan with oil and saute onion until golden and light.
- Then add crushed garlic, green chilies and saute well. To this, add chopped tomato and cook until mushy.
- Now add the spice powders along with salt. Mix well and cook for a while.
- When done, add half a cup of hot water or warm water. Cook until well combined or oil floats on the top.
- Now add the fish fillets. Let it cook well in this gravy.
- Once done, heat a pan with 1 teaspoon of oil and fry shallots chopped and curry leaves. Season the curry with it for a yummy flavor.
