Fish Curry Masala

Fish Curry Masala

 

Ingredients (for paste):

·         Tamarind paste – ½ cup (soak tamarind in warm water and extract paste. Don’t make it too runny. I personally do not prefer ready-made paste, but you can use it to save time. In which case 2 tbsp). Adjust depending on your preference for tanginess.

·         Green coriander - 1 bunch

·         Green chillies - 3-4

·         Turmeric powder - 1 tsp

·         Jeera powder - 1 tsp

·         Coriander powder - 1 tbsp (preferably use the stems as it has a lot of juice)

·         Ginger - 1/2 inch

·         Garlic - 4-6 cloves

·         Salt

Blend all this in a mixer and keep aside (don’t make it too runny)

 
For curry:

·         Onion - 1 medium chopped

·         Garlic - 2-3 cloves chopped

·         Oil - 2-3 tbsp
