Sardine Fish Curry

Ingredients

• 2 units Tomatoes
• 4 tablespoons Kashmiri chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric
• 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 5 units Green chillies
• 6 units Tamarind (raw) (Garcinia cambogia)
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 4 cups Water (2 cups boiled)
• 3 sprigs Curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 spoon Fenugreek powder (Powdered)
• 5 units Sardine (Or any other fish)

Instructions

1. 1Thoroughly clean the fish multiple times. In a pan, heat coconut oil and add chopped garlic and ginger. Sauté well, then add lengthwise cut shallots and continue to sauté. Incorporate Kashmiri chili powder and turmeric, stirring over low heat. Add chopped tomatoes and sauté until softened. Allow the mixture to cool, then grind to a smooth paste using a mixer grinder.
2. 2In a clay pot, heat coconut oil and add mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. Once they begin to splutter, add slit green chillies and sauté briefly. Add the ground paste and sauté until the raw aroma dissipates.
3. 3Add salt and soaked garcinia cambogia to the pot. Pour in boiled water and add curry leaves. Once the mixture begins to boil, gently add the fish pieces one by one. Maintain a medium flame and allow the curry to boil until it thickens to a gravy consistency.
4. 4Cover the pot with a lid and allow the curry to cook. Finally, add fenugreek powder and a drizzle of coconut oil. Cover again and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
