Step 1

Wash, cut and marinate the fish with salt and turmeric powder. Roast the split green gram dal in a pan and pressure cook it by adding salt and turmeric powder. You can use any kind of lentil of your choice. Here I have used moong dal. Chop the onion and beat the curd with a hand beater.

Step 2 

Now take a kadhai and add vegetable oil along with the tempering ingredients. Add in the chopped onions and fry for a minute. Add the ginger-garlic paste and fry again to remove any rawness. Next add the spices, salt, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, cumin powder, fish and garam masala and saute.

Step 3

Next, add the tomato puree and fry again for half a minute. Add half teaspoon of dry mango powder too. Now add the boiled lentil. Adjust the quantity of water according to your need. Add the fried fish. Next, add in the beaten curd and switch off the gas. You can garnish the dish with freshly chopped coriander and cream too but it is optional.
