Filleted fish is easier to prepare, and frozen fish is often less expensive.

Wash and dry the whole fish thoroughly.

Prepare a marinade with 1 teaspoon garlic-ginger paste, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, and 1 teaspoon coriander powder.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the marinade and mix well.

Rub the marinade all over the fish, ensuring it is well coated on both sides.

Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Wrap the marinated fish in aluminum foil.

Add water to a pot and bring it to a boil.

Place a stand in the pot and set the wrapped fish on top.

Cover the pot and steam the fish for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, check the fish; if it is not fully cooked, steam for an additional 5 minutes if needed.

Once done, remove the fish and if there is excess water, heat it in a pan to dry it out.
