How to Make South Indian Fish Curry With Tamarind

• Cut the fish into 2-inch pieces and clean it thoroughly.
• Add chilli powder in tamarind juice, add salt, 1 tsp turmeric, green chillies, mix well.
• Keep aside.
• Heat 3 tsp oil in a non-stick skillet.
• Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds in the oil.
• When it starts to sputter, add fenugreek seeds; once you get a sweet and sour flavour and the seeds turn golden brown, add curry leaves and onion.
• Add a pinch of salt so that the onion gets cooked quickly.
• When onion turns golden brown, add tomato and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Add cumin powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder, cook for a minute.
• Add the mixture of tamarind juice; leave it for a couple of minutes till the sauce is well cooked. (You should not get any smell of tamarind once properly cooked).
• Add a pinch of sugar while the sauce is simmering.
• Add fish at the end, cook for another 10 minutes in medium flame.
• Serve hot with rice.
