Toasted spices, golden-seared Fish, and the classic kadhai rhythm — fry, splash, cover, reduce — builds a masala that tastes like it simmered all afternoon.

Instructions

1
Warm the oil in a kadhai until it ripples, then crackle the whole spices for a few seconds.
2
Add the Fish and brown it well, resisting the urge to stir too often — colour is flavour.
3
Stir in Ghee and Garlic, softening them into the spiced oil.
4
Season, add a splash of water, and simmer covered until the Fish is tender and the sauce has thickened.
5
Uncover and raise the heat for the last two minutes to reduce the masala until it clings to the Fish.
6
Rest for five minutes off the heat, garnish with coriander, and serve with bread or rice.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
