Instructions

Wash the fish thoroughly and clean the insides properly. Marinate them with salt, turmeric powder and 1 tbsp of mustard oil and set aside for 30 minutes.
Make the mustard paste by grinding the black mustard seeds, yellow mustard seeds and green chillies together.
Heat the mustard oil in a heavy bottomed kadhai and let it smoke. Switch off the heat and let the smoke disappear completely. Now switch on the heat and keep on a low flame, then carefully slide in the fish 2 pieces at a time.
Increase the heat to medium and fry for 1 minute on both sides. If the oil gets too hot then lower the heat. The fish should be lightly fried.
Once the fish pieces are fried, reduce the oil to 2 tbsp. Add the kalonji and green chillies to the oil and let them crackle.
Add the chopped onions and fry till they turn translucent in colour.
Add in the chopped garlic and fry till the aroma develops.
Add the turmeric powder and red chilli powder and fry.
Now add 1 cup of hot water and bring it to a boil.
Put in the fried fish and cover and cook till its almost done.
Finally put in the mustard paste and bring to a boil.
Switch off the gas and add 1 tbsp of mustard oil into the gravy. Cover and let it rest.
Serve warm with steamed rice.
