Hi,

    One of my friend's mother made this for me when i went for lunch,it was tasty and spicy, i liked it a lot.I wanted to try, but somehow i became very busy & never got a chance. We always make pulusu/ fry with fish & i i was getting bored to eat the same thing all my life,last time when i made fish fry,I told my husband its time to try the masala fish curry.I'm spice lover & I'm happy i tried it as i can have my spices and fish all at the same time.All the spice lovers who also love fish should try this

Ingredients:
    Fish            = 1 pound [salmon/tilapia fillets]
    onion          = 2 small/1 big  chopped
    green chillies=4 no
    ginger garlic paste=1 tbsp
    tomato        = 1 chopped
    tamarind     =big lemon size.Make the tamarind paste from it[soak the tamarind in hot water for 15-20 min /microwave it for 30 sec once it cools down ,squeeze it for paste and throw away the waste]
    chili powder=1 tbsp
    dhaniya powder=1 1/2 tbsp
    garam masala   = 1/2 tbsp
    cloves            = 4 no
    cinnamon       =1 inch

For marination=
    Fish           = 2 pounds
    turmeric     =1/4 tbsp
    chili powder=1 tbsp
    salt           =ac to taste
    vinegar     =1/2 tbsp
if u don't have vinegar ,u can use lemon juice also

preparation:
    chop and wash the fish. i chop my fish into smaller pieces, u can  chop them to  the size you like it
    marinate the fish overnight or at least 6 hrs with salt,chili powder, turmeric and little bit lemon juice / 1/2 tbsp of vinegar
    take a pan, keep it on medium flame add 1 tbsp of oil once it is hot add marinated fish and when it is cooked through halfway ,take them aside into a bowl
    In the same pan add another tbsp of oil,to it add whole spices then add onions,pinch of turmeric & green chillies
    once the onions are translucent add ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell goes away
    to it add chopped tomato's ,chili powder,dhaniya powder,garam masala,salt.
    When the tomato's are mashed and oil oozes out of it ,add fish and cook with lid on for 2-3 min
     Now lower the flame & add tamarind paste,1 tbsp of lemon juice and  1 cup of water  and cook it with lid on,fish will be cooked very quickly so don't keep it on high flame,it will get burnt and if you stir it often it will tear into pieces.so keep it on low flame and don't stir until u think it will burn
     When the curry  is of right consistency switch off the stove ,garnish it with coriander and u are done
     It goes well with rice,chapati's etc
         Enjoy it & Thanks for visiting
