Heat vegetable oil in a pan until hot.

Bread the fish and fry it in the hot oil until crusted on each side, about a few minutes per side.

Remove the fried fish and place it on a bowl with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

In the same oil, add Curry leaves, chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic; sauté until the onions are translucent.

Add ketchup and Casp (casrip) to the mixture and sauté further until well combined.

Add diced potatoes and salt to the mixture; season with black pepper and other seasonings to taste.

Pour in enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil; simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 5 more minutes.

Once the potatoes are soft, gently add the fried fish into the pot, ensuring they are coated with the stew.

Add fresh tomatoes and let the stew simmer for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh green onions before serving.
