Boil water in a large pot with salt until simmering.

Gradually add finger millet flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously.

Cook the mixture until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pot, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before shaping into balls.

In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions, ginger, and garlic; sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in green chilies, turmeric, coriander powder, and cumin; cook for 2 minutes.

Add fish pieces and cook until they are opaque, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer; cook for another 5 minutes.

Add curry leaves and lime juice; stir to combine and remove from heat.

Serve finger millet balls with the fish curry, garnished with fresh cilantro.
