Welcome to Baby Kitchen; today we will make small fish curry.

Cut the onion into long slices and add it to the pan.

Cut the tomato into long slices and add it to the pan as well.

Add the ground spices to the pan; you can grind them on a stone grinder for better taste, but we used a quick method.

Add salt to taste and 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder.

Add a little Kashmiri red chili powder.

Pour in mustard oil and mix everything well by hand, ensuring all ingredients are combined thoroughly.

Let it sit for a while to enhance the flavor; mixing it like a magnet helps.

Add a little water to help cook the ingredients; not too much since the tomatoes and onions will release water.

Place it on the gas stove, cover it, and let it cook for about half an hour.

After half an hour, check if it’s cooked properly; look for a nice color and slight browning at the bottom, which adds flavor.

Turn off the gas to prevent burning the bottom.
