Recipe

1) Salt the fish pieces and keep them aside.
2) Make the masala by roasting all the ingredients(except the grated coconut) in a pan for 2 minutes. Now, add the coconut and roast for 2 more minutes. Make a fine paste out of this in a blender, with some water.
3) Fry onions, tomatoes and curry leaves in a pan, with a pinch of salt. Add turmeric and the blitzed masala. Keep stirring under low flame. Add water to achieve the desired gravy consistency. Next, add the coconut milk to thicken your curry.
