Soak 50 gms of tamarind in 200 ml of warm water for 30 mins. Strain it to remove the seeds and get a thick tamarind pulp.

Peel & quarter the onions and tomatoes, and cut the green chilies. Add all these into a grinder/blender and blend into a smooth paste.

Dry roast the coriander, cumin, and methi seeds in a pan on low heat for 2-3 mins. Remove onto a plate to cool and then grind it into a powder.

Heat oil in a pot/pan and add the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Give a stir and then add the Onion-Tomato-Chilli paste. Fry on medium heat for 5 mins and then add the Ginger Garlic paste. Mix and continue to fry on medium heat for another 5 minutes till the paste is cooked and no raw smell remains.

Now add the Turmeric, Red chili powder & salt, give a mix, and continue to fry on medium to low heat for 3-4 mins till the masala is cooked.

Add the tamarind pulp and roasted masala powder, give a mix, and cover with a lid. Cook covered on low heat for 10 mins till the gravy is cooked & oil separates.

Add 500 ml of water & slide in the fish pieces side by side and gently stir them in the gravy. Add salt for seasoning. Gently mix.

Cover & cook on low heat for 35-40 mins until oil separates & floats on top.

Remove the lid & shake the pan gently to mix. Continue to cook covered on low heat for another 5 mins if required.

The curry is ready to be served but tastes best when allowed to rest for a few hours and then consumed.
