Instructions
- Marinate the fish with salt, turmeric powder and 2 tbsp of mustard oil.
- In a kadai, add 1 cup of mustard oil and heat it nicely to remove the pungency, now reduce the flame to medium heat and start adding your marinated fish.
- Deep fry the pieces until they turn golden brown on both sides. remove the fish pieces and place them on paper towels to soak up the excess oil. and
- Once the fish is fried, remove extra oil from the pan. there should be roughly 4-5 tbsp of oil in the kadai. to this oil, add the whole spices.
- Once the whole spices start crackling, add the onions and keep stirring for 5 minutes. then add the ginger/garlic paste and continue stirring for another 2-3 minutes.
- Once you see the oil is separating from the onions, add the diluted dry spice mix.
- Continue on medium flame and let the spices saute well with the onions.
- When the oil starts separating again, remove the kadai from heat and add the whisked yoghurt and keep stirring to avoid curdling.
- Put the kadai back on medium heat and keep stirring. check the seasoning and add salt.
- Once the curry starts boiling, add the fried catla and keep it on simmer for 5 minutes on medium flame.
- Top it up with 1 tsp of garam masala and mix it gently.
