Directions

• Preparation
• Embark on your culinary journey by immersing the fish fillets in a tantalizing marinade. Within the confines of a bowl, meld together a symphony of flavours: the enigmatic turmeric powder, the fiery red chilli powder, and a judicious touch of salt. Tenderly enrobe the fish fillets in this melange, allowing the flavours to intermingle and dance upon the canvas of your palate. Bestow upon them a reverent pause, letting them repose for a span of approximately 15-20 minutes, as the alchemy of time weaves its enchanting spell.
• During the piscine interlude of marination, orchestrate the inception of your curry’s foundation. Kindly summon a judicious measure of oil to grace the expanse of a capacious pan, gently enkindling the flame of your culinary endeavour to a medium ardour. As the oil commences its graceful waltz of warmth, introduce the cumin seeds, the mustard seeds, and the fenugreek seeds to this aromatic stage. In a harmonious crescendo, allow these seeds to embark upon their sibilant symphony of splutters, infusing the ambience with a fragrant promise of forthcoming flavour.
• Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion turns golden brown and aromatic.
• Merge the essence of velvety tomatoes, rendered into a silken puree, into the canvas of your concoction. Allow the alchemy of heat and time to unfurl its mystic dance, coaxing the amalgamation to evolve into a symphony of viscosity. Observe with reverence as the oils, once intertwined with the medley, embark upon a graceful separation, akin to celestial bodies parting ways in the vast expanse of the cosmos.
• Now, it’s time to infuse the curry with rich spices. Add the ground coriander, ground cumin, paprika, and garam masala. Stir well to combine and let the spices bloom for a minute.
