How to make Nethili fish curry for rice?

Ingredients:

Nethili fish: 100 gms

Onion – 1 medium sized finely chopped

Tomato – 1 or 2 small finely chopped

Tamarind – a small gooseberry sized

Mustard seeds – as required for tempering

Curry leaves – as much as desired

Fenugreek seeds – as desired

Masala powder – 2-2 ½ tablespoon

Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon
Water - 2 cups (1 cup to be used to extract tamarind juice)

Salt – as per taste

Soak tamarind in hot water and extract tamarind juice as shown below.

Wash nethili fish and keep it as aside.

 

On a hot pan, add oil. I prefer gingelly oil(sesame oil) as it enhances the taste of the curry. Add mustard seeds and once it splutters, add fenugreek seeds and curry leaves. Then add chopped onions and cook till they become transparent. Add finely chopped tomatoes to the cooked onions and cook till tomatoes become mushy as shown below.


Add masala powder, tumeric, salt and cook till the raw smell of the masala goes away.





Then add 1 cup of water and wait till the curry roll boils.

Add washed neithili fish to this. Cover the pot cook for 5 mins in low-medium heat.

Neithili fish curry for rice is ready to be served.
