Maach Sukka — coastline cooking: fresh catch, hard spices, and a clock that stops the second it is done. About 40 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 20 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
Saltto taste
Onion1 large, chopped
Tomato2, chopped
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
Curry Leaves1 sprig
Fish450 g, steaks
Red Chili Powder1 tsp

Optional extras

Green Chili2
Tamarind Paste1 tsp

Instructions

1
Build the masala: onions to gold, the paste, tomatoes, and spices fried until the oil separates.
2
Add the liquid the name promises and simmer 10 minutes so the gravy finds itself.
3
Slip in the fish and cook just until done — a few minutes past that is a crime at the coast.
4
Balance the sour and salt at the end.
5
Rest 5 minutes and serve with rice — the coast insists.

Chef's tip

Fish is done when it flakes at a tilt — not when it looks impressive.
