For the Curry

2 tbsp oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup tamarind extract (soak tamarind pulp in water and extract the juice)
Salt to taste
Fresh curry leaves for garnish

Instructions

Marinate the Fish

In a bowl, mix the fish pieces with turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Masala Paste

In a blender, grind the fresh grated coconut, dried red chilies, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds with a little water to form a smooth paste.

Cook the Curry

Heat oil in a large pan. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Then Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Next Add the prepared masala paste to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously until the oil separates from the masala.
And Add the tamarind extract and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt to taste.

Add the Fish

Gently add the marinated fish pieces to the curry. Simmer on low heat until the fish is cooked through, approximately 10-15 minutes, ensuring the fish is tender but not overcooked.

Finish and Serve

Garnish with fresh curry leaves.
Serve hot with steamed rice.
