Tomato – 2 (chopped)
Coconut Powder – ½ tsp

Recipe:

-Marinate the fish with turmeric powder, salt, red chili powder and one spoon of mustard oil. -Keep aside for 10 minutes.
-Heat mustard oil in a pan and fry the fish pieces till golden brown. Ensure that the oil is properly heated before frying to avoid stickiness.
-Take out the fried fish pieces.
-In the remaining oil, add the chopped onions and stir till they are golden brown and translucent.
-Add the chopped tomatoes and continue stirring to ensure an equal fry.
-Add salt, turmeric powder and red chili powder.
-Add green chilies and pour two table spoons of tomato puree.
-When the oil starts separating, add 1 cup of water. Add 2 cups of water in case you want to keep thinner gravy.
-Add coconut powder and mix with the gravy.
-Add the fried fish pieces in the gravy and let it boil for 5minutes till the gravy becomes thick.
-Add chopped coriander leaves, keep the burner in high flame for two minutes and switch off the gas.

Now pack the fish curry in a tiffin box and get it to office for all folks who left a comment. :)
