Instructions

1.
Marinate the Fish
Start by washing the Rohu Fish pieces thoroughly. Pat them dry and marinate with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. This step ensures your fish is flavorful right from the start. Plus, it gives you time to practice your best chef impression in the mirror.

2.
Frying Time!
Heat the mustard oil in a pan until it’s smoking hot. Reduce the heat and gently slide in the marinated fish pieces. Fry them until they turn golden brown on both sides. This quick Rohu Fish Fry not only adds a wonderful texture to the fish but also locks in all those yummy juices. Set the fried fish aside and try not to eat them all while you prep the curry. Seriously, it’s tempting.

3.
The Curry Base
In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and toss in the chopped onions. Sauté until they turn a lovely golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chillies, cooking until the raw smell disappears. Your kitchen should start smelling amazing about now – resist the urge to invite the neighbours over just yet.

4.
Spice It Up
Time to add some colour and flavour! Mix in the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Stir well and let those spices do their magic for a couple of minutes.

5.
Tomato Tango
Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the mixture. This is when you know your base is ready to take on the fish.

6.
Fish Meets Curry
Gently place the fried fish pieces into the pan, making sure they are well-coated with the curry. Add a splash of water to adjust the consistency to your liking. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the fish to soak up all the flavours.

7.
Final Touches
Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and give it a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for that perfect finish.
