Ingredients:
- 500g fish fillets (such as Rohit, catfish, or any firm white fish), cut into pieces
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped - 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

- Green chilies, slit (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. **Marinate the Fish:**
- Rub the fish pieces with turmeric powder and a pinch of salt. Let them marinate for about 15- 20 minutes.
2. **Heat Oil:**
- Heat mustard oil (or cooking oil) in a pan until it reaches the smoking point. Then, reduce the heat to medium.
3. **Fry the Fish:**
- Fry the marinated fish pieces in the hot oil until they are lightly golden and partially cooked. Remove and set aside.
4. **Prepare the Gravy:**
- In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

- Add ginger paste and garlic paste to the onions. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.

- Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.

- Gently place the fried fish pieces into the tomato-onion spice mixture. Be careful not to break the fish.
