Step 1

Wash, de-scale and clean the fish fillets.

Step 2

Marinate fish pieces with 1 tbsp lime juice, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp red chilli powder and salt as per taste. Coat all sides equally. Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish pieces for no longer than 2-3 minutes. Fry the skin-side first and then complete the remaining sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the mustard paste for the gravy using a blender or a pestle and mortar. Add chopped green chilli, yellow mustard powder and pinch of salt. Grind the spices together, add 1 tbsp of water to make a smooth, thick paste.

Step 4

Heat 4 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add onions and sauté at medium heat until they are translucent. Add salt while sautéing, it helps the onions to release water and cook faster.

Step 5

Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, mustard paste and sauté for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 6

Use coconut milk instead of water in little amounts to saute. You should see the oil to start surfacing on the top.

Step 7
