North Eastern fish curry

Well, Nupur you absolutely must try this recipe. It is simple to cook, amazingly hot, the house smells when it cooks but the taste is absolutely divine especially for those who have a zest for north-eastern cuisine. Special thanks to Joy's friends in Nagaland for their inputs.

Its also a healthy recipe as there is minimal use of oil. In the original recipe, the fish is boiled along with the veggies so there is no use of oil, but in my customized version I fry the fish as I am so not used to boiled fish. I also grind fresh ginger and garlic and store the paste in the fridge.

Fish - 6-8 pcs (any variety)
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Water- 3 cups
Ginger garlic paste - 3 heaped tbsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
