Instructions
- Mix turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, green chilli, salt, garlic and ginger to make a thick paste. Thoroughly wash the pomfret, pat dry and make slits on it. Stuff the paste into the slits and coat the pomfret completely. Set aside for 20-30 minutes.
- In a pan, heat oil, add the curry leaves and tomato puree. Sauté well and cook the puree until the oil slightly separates from the sides. Add a little water and gently place the marinated fish in the curry, cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes on low flame. Flip the fish occasionally. Now, add the coconut milk and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle some coriander leaves and serve hot with plain rice.

You can also rest the curry for about 3-4 hours or overnight so that the flavours mature. How to check if the fish is cooked? Use a toothpick or fork to break a small piece of the fish. If the fish is opaque and breaks off easily, it is done.
