This is MIL's trademark fish curry.The original recipe is from her MIL...:).My husband loves it so much and i try harder everytime to make it just like MIL.After almost 6 years, finally i am able to make it upto that mark...

Small pearl onion - 5
Tamarind - 1 small lime size(soaked in 1 cup of water)
Red chillies - 8

Turmeric powder - 1/2tsp
Whole Dania - 1tsp
Garlic-1 clove
Jeera-1/2tsp
Coconut Oil - 2tsp
Curry leaves - a few
Mustard seeds - 1tsp
Coconut - 1 cup (shredded)

Method

Clean the fish pieces with little bit of turmeric.Grind coconut,1 pearl onion,curry leaves,dania,turmeric powder,garlic,jeera into a smooth paste.In a heavy bottomed pan,heat the grouded paste with the tamarind water.Boil this till the raw smell goes and the curry becomes little thicker.Add the fish pieces at this point and don't stir it.Boil it till the fish is cooked full.In a pan, heat coconut oil and fry mustard seeds ,curry leaves and sliced onions.Pour this into the fish curry.Serve hot with rice.
