Today I am gonna share a very simple and quick recipe of rohu fish in tomato gravy. It does not consume much time and goes very well with hot steamed rice.

Pour oil into the pan, once it becomes warm enough, add the chopped tomatoes and keep stirring at regular intervals for about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cumin paste to the tomatoes, allow it to cook until you see that the oil has separated from the paste.
Then add turmeric, salt, sugar (Sugar is usually added if people don't prefer the curry to be too tangy, however this depends completely on an individual's taste). Stir it well and add water, then cover the pan.
When the gravy stars to boil, add the fried fish pieces and green chillies. Cover it and let it boil for 3 - 4 minutes.
Remove the curry from the heat and garnish it with fresh coriander/cilantro leaves.
