An easy dish. Healthy for a curry as well.
YOU NEED
2 fillets fish: tilapia works well, as does haddock, cod, snapper, or catfish
2 tablespoons garlic paste or 4 cloves minced garlic
2 inches ginger, grated
2 tablespoons garlic paste or 4 cloves minced garlic
2 inches ginger, grated
3 teaspoons mustard seeds
4 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon coriander powder
5 medium shallots or 2 medium onions
7 red chilies
1 tablespoon cumin seed
3 teaspoons turmeric powder
3 tablespoons salt
2 big tomatoes
oil, to deep fry fish
3 cups water
TO MAKE:
1 In a grinder grind the onions, ginger, 2 bay leaves, red chili, mustard seeds, cumin seed all together. [make a paste]
2 keep about a cup of onion unprocessed.
3 Cut small pieces of tomatoes.
4 Make small pieces of fish fillets, about 3 inches in length.
5 Take a big plate, put the fish in it and sprinkle 2 teaspoon of salt, two teaspoon of turmeric powder and the garlic paste.
6Mix all of them properly.
7Allow to marinate for 1/2 hour.
8Take a pan or a wok (preferable), heat it and put oil to fry the fish.
Once the oil is much hotter, fry the fish, 3-4 pieces at a time, 3-4 minutes on each side.
9Keep all of them in a separate plate.
10When all the pieces are fried, clean all the black residues from the oil in the wok with the spatula and put 2 tablespoon of fresh oil in the it.

1/2 tablespoon coriander powder
5 medium shallots or 2 medium onions

11 Then put a pinch of cumin seed, a pinch of mustard seed, 2 red
chili, 2 bay leaves, a pinch of aniseed (all together is called
panch-phoran) and allow them to splutter.
12Then put the cut onion pieces and allow it to just a little brown.
13Then put all the ground paste,tomatoes,left over turmeric powder and salt to taste.
14Keep stirring it until the paste becomes a little brown (it takes around 10 minutes).
15You can also identify it by looking at the wok, that the paste will start leaving the oil and paste will now no more stick on the wok.
16The paste is now perfectly fried.
17Now pour 3 cups of water to it, or as much thick gravy you want.
18Once the gravy comes to boil, start dropping the fried fish pieces and allow to boil for 15 minutes.
19 serve with fresh cilantro!
