Add ginger and garlic paste, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 4-5 minutes.

Add green chilies, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder; mix well and cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in water to create a gravy and bring to a simmer.

Carefully add the fried fish back into the pan and cook for 10 minutes on low heat.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
