STEPS

Step 1

Wash and marinate the fish, here I have used the boneless variety, with salt, turmeric powder, and garlic paste. Shallow-fry it. Chop the onions, green chilies, and coriander finely. Mash the fish with a masher.

Step 2

To make the fish balls, take a bowl, add the mashed fish, finely chopped onions, green chilies, coriander, salt, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, cumin powder,garam masala, lemon juice, baking soda, salt. Take the bread slices, wet them in water and squeeze the water out to mix it all up and form a dough. Now make medium-sized balls and fry it in a kadhai till browned.

Step 3

For making the gravy, grind the onions and peanuts into a fine paste. Take a wok and add cumin and oil. When it splutters, add chopped onions and fry. Now add the ginger-garlic paste and fry again. Next add in the onion-peanut paste, salt, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, coriander powder, tomato puree,garam masala and fry all this for two minutes before adding curd. Add curd and let the spices cook for a minute and then add water for the gravy. Boil on a medium flame.

Step 4

When the gravy has thickened, add the fish balls in it. Simmer and cook for two minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and fresh cream.

Our delicious Fish Kofta Curry is done. Serve it with steamed rice, rice crispies, and rice poppadums.
