  • If necessary, add a little more water.
  • Put in the fish pieces and salt to taste. Lower the fire and let it simmer.
  • Churn the curd (should be a little sour).
  • Heat 1 tbsp of the refined oil.
  • Season it with cardamoms, cloves and bay leaf and pour this seasoning over the churned curd.
