Instructions

1
Season the fish with salt and turmeric, and let it sit while the masala builds.
2
Sear the fish in hot oil, two minutes a side, and remove before it is fully done.
3
Build the masala in the fish oil: onions, paste, tomato, spices — fried till it darkens and gleams.
4
Pour in water or coconut milk, slide the fish back in with the coconut milk, and simmer gently five to seven minutes — no more.
5
Finish with the kokum, fresh coriander and a final drizzle of raw mustard oil if you have it.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
