Jeera Powder - 1 tsp
Ginger Garlic paste - 11/2 tsp
Garam Masala - 1 tsp
Vinegar or Lime juice - 3tsp
Salt

Make a paste of all of the above ingrediants with water. Apply it on the fish. Ensure you rub it into the fish.
Marinate the fish for a couple of hours.


Heat oil in a pan, When oil is heated add the fish. one at a time. Sprinkle some curry leaves. Fry the fish on low flame. As thats when the flavour sweeps in. Keep the pan covered.  Turn the fish and cook on the otherside till its golden brown.




Serve with onions and lime.
