Here are things you will need:
1. Fish - rohu cut in 1/2 inch thick circular pieces - 4-6 pieces
2. Curd - 2 medium bowls - make it into smooth blend
3. salt
4. green chillies - chopped in small pieces
5. onion - 1 small chopped in small pieces
6. red chilli powder
7. coriander/ cilantro leaves - chopped
8. oil
9. turmeric powder
10. Jeera powder

Pre cooking: Wash the fish pieces thoroughly. Add 1/2 spoon salt and 1/4 turmeric powder
Keep it aside for 30 mins to 1 hr

To Cook:
Take a deep-dish pan and add oil filling it to 1/4 inch level/height. Heat the oil.
When oil is hot, add the fish pieces fry both side thoroughly turning occassionally until golden brown.
When done, keep them aside.
Remove addition oil from the pan keeping only 2-3 spoons left behind. Add onions and green chillies and fry till onion is golden brown. Add 1/2 spoon jeera powder, 1/4th spoon red chilli powder, 1/2 spoon salt (or as per taste) and chopped coriander leaves.
Add this fried mix to the blended curd and mix well. (Check for salt as per taste).
Now add the fish fried to this and keep it for 30 mins till curd goes inside the fish.
Serve with hot rice. Still remember the way my mum used to make this... Very good for summer.
