Fish Curry

Ingredients for Fish Curry:
Fish ½ kg
Coriander leaves a few
Green chilies 4-5
Ginger paste 1-½ tsp
Salt to taste
Oil 3-4 tsp
Pureed tomatoes 2-3
Curd 1 tsp
Red chili powder 1 tsp
Coriander powder 1 tsp
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Sugar a pinch

Method:
On the fish apply turmeric and salt and deep fry in hot oil. 
Do not discard the oil, as some of the fish oil could be used for preparing the curry. Keep aside the fried fish. 
Grind to a thick paste the coriander leaves, green chilies, and ginger paste, with some salt. 
Heat the used oil and add some cumin seeds, followed by the green paste and sauté until lightly fragrant. 
Add a pinch of sugar. 
Add the pureed tomato and fry for another minute, before adding coriander, red chili, and salt. 
Lastly, add a tsp of fresh curd and stir in until oil leaves the sides of the kadahi. 
Add some water and allow it to boil. 
Once the curry comes to a boil, add the fried fish pieces and let it simmer for some time. 
Serve it with a handful of fresh coriander leaves and serve with a bowl of steamed rice..
