Ingredients
Let’s cook
In a pan, dry roast both the chillies (without stem) on a medium flame for about 2 minutes. Let it cool and add them to a blender along with cumin seeds, coriander seeds, curry leaves, garlic and ginger. Blend into a smooth, fine paste and use a little water if needed.
Wash and pat dry the pomfrets. Mix the prepared masala with tamarind pulp and salt. Coat the fish nicely and set aside. In a skillet, heat oil and place the fish. Fry for 5-6 minutes on both sides or until cooked. The skin of the fish should turn crispy and brown.
Garnish with chopped coriander and lemon. Serve hot as is or with roti, naan or rice.
