Instructions
 

Gongura paste

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan, add green chilis and fry for a minute.
  • Then add gongura/ sorrel leaves and cook for 5 minutes till they wilt and are cooked. Let it cool and make a paste.

Fish curry

  • Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and fry for 30 seconds.
  • Add chopped onions and fry for 4-5 minutes till they turn translucent.
  • Add ginger garlic paste and fry for 1-2 minutes till the raw smell goes away.
  • Add gongura/ sorrel leaves paste to the pan, mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add salt, turmeric, chili powder, cumin powder and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Now there are two methods to cook:
    Option 1- Add fish directly to the gongura curry base, fry for 3-4 minutes and then add water to the pan.
    Option 2- Add water to the fried gongura curry base and let it boil. Meanwhile, fry fish in a separate pan with 1 tbsp of oil and then add it to the curry base.
  • Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes. Take off the lid, add some garam masala and cook till the gravy reaches desired consistency.
  • Garnish with coriander and serve hot with steamed rice.

Notes

  1. You can skip adding red chili powder if you want to use only green chili or use both- Adjust quantity as needed
  2. You can use any fish that can be used for curries like rohu, catla, etc. I used rohu fish.
  3. Preferably use curry cut pieces.
