Cooking Instructions

•Add curry leaves and let them sizzle for ~20 seconds.
•Add the chillies and onions and fry them.
•Add 1 table spoon of salt to soften the onions.
•Add turmeric powder.
•When onions start to brown, add the tamarind water.
•Add the chili powder and let the contents simmer for a few minutes.
•Lay the fish pieces on the mixture evenly (after this point, don’t move the fish pieces since they can fall apart).
•Cover the pan with a lid and let the contents boil for 15 minutes.
•Serve hot with white rice.
