Method
Step 1
For the masala
Step 2
Using a mortar and pestle, grind all of the ingredients together to a fine paste. Drain and reserve any liquid.
Step 3
For the fish
Step 4
Heat the oil in a wok or sauté pan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the sliced onion and the chopped cilantro, and fry until the onions turn golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground paste and reduce the heat to low. Fry until fragrant, season with salt, to taste, and thin with the reserved masala water until the desired consistency is achieved. Season with additional vinegar, to taste.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high, bring the gravy to a boil, and add the fish pieces. Cook until the gravy bubbles over, reduce the heat to medium, and cook 30 more seconds or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with rice.
