Remove the fried fish and set aside.

In the same pan, add onions and sauté until golden brown and slightly caramelized.

Add green chilies and chopped tomatoes; cook until tomatoes soften.

Add half a spoon of salt, considering the fish's saltiness.

Return the fried dry fish to the pan and gently stir everything together on low heat.

Sprinkle in spring onions and a pinch of red chili powder; cook together for a few minutes on medium heat.
