Start with 500 grams of boneless fish.

Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the fish.

Mix in 1 tablespoon garlic paste and 1/2 teaspoon ajwain.

Add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice to the fish and let it marinate.

Prepare the spice mix with 2 onions, 2 tomatoes, 1 teaspoon crushed cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon crushed red chili powder, 1 tablespoon crushed coriander seeds, 4 green chilies, and 1/2 bunch fresh coriander.

Add 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala, and 1 teaspoon salt to the spice mix.

Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large pan.

Add the prepared spice mix to the pan and sauté until fragrant.

Once the spices are cooked, add the marinated fish to the pan.

Cook the fish on medium heat, breaking it up with a hammer as it cooks to create a 'kata kat' texture.

Add 50 grams of butter to the pan for richness.

Cook until the fish is fully cooked and has a flaky texture, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
